Suppose that, with constant opportunity costs, Spain can produce 8,000 units of clothing if it devotes all of its resources to clothing production and 2,000 units of wheat if it devotes all of its resources to wheat production. The cost of producing wheat in terms of clothing woudl be: O 2 wheat:0.4 clothing Ol wheat:0.25 clothing O 2 wheat:4 clothing O1 wheat:4 clothing

The US and France each have 100 hours of labor to allocate between producing cheese and bread. With 1 labor hour, the US can produce either 100 loaves of bread, or 1 wheel of cheese. With 1 labor hour, France can produce either 400 loaves of bread, or 2 wheels of cheese. Suppose the countries jointly decide to produce a combined amount of 45000 loaves of bread. What is the maximum amount of cheese they can jointly produce? 50 wheels O wheels 100 wheels 25 wheels Moving to another question will save this response. Question 5 of 25
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denall. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor. Almonds Country (Pounds per hour of labor) Sequoia Denall Suppose that initially Denall uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Sequola produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts, and Denall produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of almonds and shorts it produces.…
Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Corn Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. 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…

France produces agricultural products and manufactured products, using both labour and capital. When France engages in free trade, it starts exporting manufactured products, which is capital intensive. In the long run, which one of the following scenarios is incorrect? O France remains capital abundant. O Allocation of French capital changes compared to autarky. O Real rental in the manufacturing industry increases more than the real rental in the agricultural industry. O Real wage in France falls.
Suppose the UK has 50 hours of labor available, and the US has 100 hours of labor available. Each can use this labor to produce either cars or bicycles. The UK can produce a car using 10 hours of labor, and a bicycle using 5 hours of labor. The US can produce a car using 5 hours of labor, and a bicycle using 4 hours of labor. Suppose that jointly, the two countries produce 15 bikes and 16 cars. Then it must be that the UK only produces bikes, and the US produces both bikes and cars. the UK produces bikes and cars, and the US only produces cars. the UK only produces cars, and the US only produces bikes. the UK only produces bikes, and the US only produces cars.
