Bob and Doug spend their workdays making beer and donuts. Bob's Opportunity Cost of producing a unit of donuts is 0.8 units of beer; Doug's Opportunity Cost of producing a unit of donuts is 0.25 units of beer. From this information alone, we know that A. B. C. D. Doug has an Absolute Advantage in the production of donuts and Bob has an Absolute Advantage in the production of beer. Doug has a Comparative Advantage in the production of both donuts and beer. Bob's Opportunity Cost of producing a unit of beer is 1.25 units of donuts and Doug's Opportunity Cost of producing a unit of beer is 4 units of donuts. None of the above answers are correct.

The table below shows the production of oil and lumber of ONE worker in China and India: rice (in pounds) shirts (unit) CHINA 400 200 INDIA 330 110 a) BEFORE trade (or with no trade), each country has 100 workers, and they allocate the worker for the production of the goods in the following way: China allocates 35 workers in the production of rice, and 65 workers in the production of shirts; India allocates 50 workers in the production of rice and 50 workers in the production of shirts. Find the maximum production and consumption of both goods for each country! b) If the countries decide to engage in trade (WITH TRADE), they will specialize in the production of the good in which they have comparative advantage. In which good should China specialize? How about India? JUSTIFY! (To answer this question you must calculate the opportunity cost of each good for both countries and then find the country's comparative advantage). What is the WITH TRADE production of the countries? c) If the…
