What is comparative advantage?
Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuela from Table 33.12 which describes how many barrels of oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Use these numbers to answer the rest of this question. Draw a production possibilities frontier for each country. Assume there are 100 workers in each country. Canadians and Venezuelans desire both oil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000 tons of lumber. Mark a point on their production possibilities where they can get at least 3,000 tons. Assume that the Canadians specialize completely because they figured out they have a comparative advantage in lumber. They are willing to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. How much oil should they ask for in return for this lumber to be as well off as they were with no trade? How much should they ask for if they want to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note: We can think of this ask as the relative price or trade price of lumber. Is the Canadian ask you identified in (b) also beneficial for Venezuelans? Use the production possibilities frontier graph for Venezuela to show that Venezuelans can gain from trade.

Draw a table showing Autarky price ratios for each country and a diagram for the consumption and production possibilities frontier in Autarky when Canada produces 2000 units of corn with all its labour resources or 8000 units of wool with all its labour resources, consumes 1000 of corn and 4000 of wheat. Brazil has 12000 units of labour available. It takes 6 hours to produce a unit of corn and 3 hours to produce a unit of wool. Brazil consumes 1200 corn and 1600 wool.
Table 3-3 Maria Courtney Labour hours needed to make one unit: Sweater 40 20 Coat 8 5 Amount produced in 40 hours: Sweater 1 2 Coat 5 8 Refer to Table 3-3. What does each of the two producers have a comparative or absolute advantage in? a Maria has an absolute advantage in coats, and Courtney has a comparative advantage in sweaters. Ob. Maria has an absolute advantage in both goods, and Courtney has a comparative advantage in coats. OC. Maria has an absolute advantage in sweaters, and Courtney has a comparative advantage in sweaters. Od. Maria has an absolute advantage in neither good, and Courtney has a comparative advantage in sweaters. CLEAR MY CHOICE
