Suppose that Croatia and Wales both produce beets and wheat. Croatia's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 4 bushels of beets while Wales's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 11 bushels of beets. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wheat in the two countries, you can tell that production of wheat and has a comparative advantage in the production of beets. has a comparative advantage in the Suppose that Croatia and Wales consider trading wheat and beets with each other. Croatia can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beets for each bushel of wheat it exports to Wales. Similarly, Wales can gain from trade as long as it receives more of wheat for each bushel of beets it exports to Croatia. than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wheat in terms of beets) would allow both Wales and Croatia to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 6 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat 1 bushel of beets per bushel of wheat 16 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat 8 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat
