Transcribed Image Text:In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and
enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption."
When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 18 million pairs per month, and the total production of corn was 52 million
bushels per month. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by
million pairs per month, and the total production
of corn has increased by
million bushels per month.
Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade.
Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the
table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption").

Transcribed Image Text:Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Arcadia. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to
produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.
Jeans

Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Euphoria uses
3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Euphoria produces 12 million pairs
of jeans and 16 million bushels of corn, and Arcadia produces 6 million pairs of jeans and 36 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other
countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it
produces.
Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is
of corn, and Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is
v of corn. Therefore,
has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and
has a comparative
advantage in the production of corn.
Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In
this case, the country that produces jeans will produce
million pairs per month, and the country that produces corn will produce
million bushels per month.
In the following table, enter each country's production decision on the third row of the table (marked "Production").
Suppose the country that produces jeans trades 14 million pairs of jeans to the other country in exchange for 42 million bushels of corn.
