Suppose now that Sylvania has a comparative advantage in the production of coffee. Again, Maldonia and Sylvania exchange 12 million pounds of lemons for 12 million pounds of coffee. The following graph shows the PPF for Sylvania, as well as its initial consumption at point A.

The graph on the right shows Tanzania's production possibilities frontier for cashew nuts and mangoes. Assume that the output per hour of work is 8 bushels of cashew nuts or 2 bushels of mangoes, and that Tanzania has 1,000 hours of labor. Without trade, Tanzania evenly splits its labor hours between cashews and mangoes and produces and consumes at point A. Suppose Tanzania opens trade with Kenya, and Kenya's output per hour of work is 1 bushel of cashew nuts or 1 bushel of mangoes. Having the comparative advantage, Tanzania completely specializes in cashew nuts. Locate the point of production for Tanzania. bushels of mangoes and bushels of cashew The point of production for Tanzania includes nuts. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) Suppose Tanzania keeps 5,000 bushels of cashew nuts and exports the remaining 3,000 bushels. The terms of trade are 1 bushel of mangoes for 2 bushels of cashew nuts. Locate the point that shows the amount of cashew nuts and mangoes that Tanzania…

Comparative Advantage: Suppose that the United States and Switzerland produce bicycles and chocolate bars: Bicycles per worker/year Chocolate Bars per worker/year 10,000 20,000 Switzerland 1 United States 5 a. The United States has an absolute advantage in both bicycles and chocolate bars, but which country has a comparative advantage producing bicycles? Chocolate bars? b. Assume there are 10,000 workers. Draw the production possibilities frontier for the United States prior to trade. Assume the two countries agree to exchange 7,000 chocolate bars per bicycle. Illustrate the effect of specialization and trade on the U.S. production possibilities frontier (put bicycles on the x-axis and millions of chocolate bars on the y-axis). c. Assume there are 10,000 workers. Draw the production possibilities frontier for Switzerland prior to trade. Assume the two countries agree to exchange 7,000 chocolate bars per bicycle.

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

I don't understand the second part of this homework. If Frankie and Johnny completely specialize according to comparative advantage, what will happen to the amount of eggs and milk? I have the opportunity cost calculated to understand who should do what in this case. But what will I do to that number?
