Need help understanding parts H,I,J and K. Suppose Home has 200 units of labor. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. InHome a worker can produce 3 apples or 4 bananas.a. Graph Home's PPF, with apples in the horizontal axis.b. What is the opportunity cost of apples?c. In the absence of trade - when Home is isolated - what would the relative price be?d. Now suppose there is another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 200. In Foreign aworker can produce 2 apples or 5 bananas.e. Graph Foreign's PPF, with apples in the horizontal axis.f. Construct the world relative supply curve, expressing the relative price of apples (PA/PB)in terms of the relative quantity of apples (QA/QB).g. Now suppose that world relative demand takes the following form:RD:QAQB=PBPAh. Graph the relative demand curve together with the relative supply curve.i. What is the equilibrium relative price of apples?j. Describe the pattern of trade (who exports what).k. Assume Home workers are less productive in both industries. What happens(conceptually) to the gains from trade for each country compared to before?

Who has the absolute advantage in coffee? Explain.b. Who has the comparative advantage in cof-fee? Explain.c. If the two countries specialize and trade with each other, who will import coffee? Explain.d. Assume that the two countries trade and that the country importing coffee trades 2 ounces of soybeans for 1 ounce of coffee. Explain why both countries will benefit from this trade.
Home has 1200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in bananas production it is 2. There is now also another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 800. Foreign’s unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in bananas production it is 1. e) Show that how both Home and Foreign countries gain from trade. use PPF graph.

In France, one hour of a worker’s labor can produce either 5 cloths or 10 wines. In the US, one hour of workers labor can produce either 20 cloths or 20 wines. Can you show math work? What is the opportunity cost in France for 1 cloth? How about 1 wine? What is the opportunity cost in US of 1 cloth? How about 1 wine? Should these two countries trade?

Country A Country B 200 corn 600 150 375 100 50 50 75100 150 200 cars 25 50 75 100 cars a) What is the opportunity cost of making cars in each country? Make clear how you find this and what it means. b) If the countries were to specialize and trade, which country should specialize in making cars? Why? c) If the countries specialize completely according to comparative advantage (i.e.each produces only what they have the comparative advantage in) what would be the total production of cars and corn? How does this compare to the total production at their original pre-trade production points? d) Suppose the country that specializes in making only cars trades with the country that makes no cars. The car-maker sends the other country as many cars as they were consuming before trade. How much corn could the corn-making country trade for these cars and have both countries be better off than they were before trade?
I'm confused on how to calculate the gains from trade. I don't know what to do.
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?
