5. The price of trade Suppose that Greece and Austria both produce rye and wine. Greece's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 5 bushels of rye while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 11 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and has a comparative advantage in the production of rye. Suppose that Greece and Austria consider trading wine and rye with each other. Greece can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to Greece. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and Greece to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 2 bushels of rye…

Suppose that France and Italy both produce wine and cheese. France's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 5 barrels of wine, while Italy's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 10 barrels of wine. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that comparative advantage in the production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of wine. Suppose that France and Italy consider trading cheese and wine. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of wine for each case of cheese it exports to Italy. Similarly, Italy can gain from trade as long as it receives of cheese for each barrel of wine it exports to France. more than Based on your answer to the last question, a price ratio between benefit both countries. has a barrels of wine per case of cheese will
The theory of comparative advantage: O a. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced if each country's citizens produce only a single product. Ob. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced when all countries compare commodity prices after adjusting for exchange rate differences in order to standardize the prices charged by all countries. O. Claims that economic well-being is enhanced if each country's citizens produce that which they have a comparative advantage in producing relative to the citizens of other countries, and then trade production. O d. Claims that no country has an absolute advantage over another country in the production of any good or service.
