The countries of Joem and Annia both produce corn and sugar. You have been asked to analyze the opportunity costs and comparative advantages to recommend an efficient trading relationship. Consider the production data provided. Prepare a brief report that: 1. Calculate and compare the opportunity costs of producing 1 unit of corn and 1 unit of sugar in each country. Which country has the lower opportunity cost for each good? 2. Determine which good each country has a comparative advantage in producing sugar and which one has a comparative advantage in producing corn. Explain your analysis. 3. Recommend a trading relationship that allows the…
5. The price of trade Suppose that Italy and Switzerland both produce jeans and stained glass. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 3 pairs of jeans while Switzeriand's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 9 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing stained glass in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that Italy and Switzerland consider trading stained glass and jeans with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each pane of stained glass it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long of stained glass for each pair of jeans it exports to Italy. as it recelves more than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the tollowing prices of trade (that is, price of stained glass in terms of…
