Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Euphoria 8. 32 Contente 12 24 nitially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Euphoria produces 24 million bushels o ye and 32 million pairs of jeans, and Contente produces 12 million bushels of rye and 72 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consurmes the armount of rye and jeans it produces. Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is of jeans, and Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is of jeans. Therefore, has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

6. Relationship between returns to scale, isoquants, production frontiers, and cost curves The following graph shows two isoquants that represent the firm's production technology. One of the isoquants shows all of the possible combinations of labor and capital that can produce 300 units of output (q = 300), but you must determine the other isoquant's quantity given the information that follows. CAPITAL 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 LABOR 60 70 80 ¹9, = 300 90 100 Suppose the firm's production process exhibits decreasing returns to scale. Based on the graph, the level of output represented by the second isoquant is q2 =
Country Denali Congaree Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 3 million hours per day to produce almonds, while Congaree uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 1 million hours per day to produce almonds. As a result, Denali produces 6 million pairs of shorts and 36 million pounds of almonds, and Congaree produces 12 million pairs of shorts and 16 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of shorts and almonds it produces. Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 6 12 16 Denali's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of shorts is of almonds. Therefore, comparative advantage in the production of almonds. 4 Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good.
