Look at the figure The Production Possibility Frontiers for Jackson and Tahoe. In autarky, Jackson produces and consumes 30 head of cattle and 80 bushels of wheat, while Tahoe produces and consumes 80 head of cattle and 60 bushels of wheat. Each nation specializes completely, based on comparative advantage, and the price of 1 head of cattle equals 1 bushel of wheat. If Jackson exports 120 bushels of wheat to Tahoe, then the new consumption point for Tahoe after trade is bushels of wheat and_head of cattle.

Refer to the production possibility frontiers for two friends Frodo and Sam who can both produce Ice creams and Jelly beans. Frodo's maximum production of Ice creams is 500 with no Jelly beans, or 2,000 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. Sam's maximum production of Ice creams is 600 with no Jelly beans, or 1,200 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. ICE CREAMS ICE CREAMS 600 500 1200 JELLY BEANS 2000 JELLY BEANS Frodo' PPF Sam's PPF Answer briefly these TWO questions in the box space provided below. Part A: Assuming efficient production without trade, derive the maximum amount of Jelly beans that can be produced by Sam along with 300 Ice creams. Describe your steps in detail. Part B: Assume that Frodo and Sam agree to specialize in production and trade between themselves. Frodo offers 1,000 Jelly beans to Sam in exchange for 300 lce creams. Would Sam agree to this trade?

Canadian Trade Possibilities Televisions 16 12 8 4 0 Canada's Transformation Schedule Televisions 8 12 International Terms of Trade Refrigerators Televisions and refrigerators Neither televisions nor refrigerators с 16 20 B 24 Figure 2.2 shows a straight-line production possibilities curve with televisions on the vertical axis and refrigerators on the horizontal axis for Canada. The intercept on the vertical axis equals 16 and on the horizontal axis equals 24. Point A shows a point where an indifference curve is tangent to the production possibilities curve where televisions on the vertical axis equal 8 and refrigerators on the horizontal axis equal 12. A downward sloping straight line representing the international terms of trade starts at a point where refrigerators equal 24; an indifference curve is tangent to this line at a point where televisions equal 12 and refrigerators equal 16. Referring to Figure 2.2, Canada has a comparative advantage in: Refrigerators
