Draw an offer curve for Guatemala that shows its offer of coffee for wheat. Include both an elastic and inelastic range in Guatemala’s offer curve. (b) Draw an offer curve for the United States that shows its offer of wheat for coffee. Show this US curve intersecting the Guatemalan offer curve in the inelastic range of the Guatemalan curve. Note the equilibrium terms of trade established
(a) Draw an offer curve for Guatemala that shows its offer of coffee for wheat. Include both an elastic and inelastic range in Guatemala’s offer curve.
(b) Draw an offer curve for the United States that shows its offer of wheat for coffee. Show this US curve intersecting the Guatemalan offer curve in the inelastic range of the Guatemalan curve. Note the equilibrium terms of trade established.
(c) Compare the
(d) “The Guatemalan offer curve is likely to be less elastic than the US offer curve.” Justify this claim by explaining what factors determine the elasticity of an offer curve.
