Suppose that Ireland and Norway both produce ale and glass. Ireland's opportunity cost of producing a pane of glass is 6 kegs of ale while Norway's opportunity cost of producing a pane of glass is 11 kegs of ale. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing glass in the two countries, you can tell that production of glass and has a comparative advantage in the production of ale. Suppose that Ireland and Norway consider trading glass and ale with each other. Ireland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives of ale for each pane of glass it exports to Norway. Similarly, Norway can gain from trade as long as it receives more of glass for each keg of ale it exports to Ireland. more than than has a comparative advantage in the Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of glass in terms of ale) would allow both Norway and Ireland to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 14 kegs of ale per pane of glass 8 kegs of ale per pane of glass 7 kegs of ale per pane of glass 3 kegs of ale per pane of glass

In this case, Germany could obtain and consume a maximum combination of 8 million units of autos and Multiple Choice 12 million units of chemicals. 24 million units of chemicals. 36 million units of chemicals. 48 million units of chemicals.
Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will produce million pairs per week, and the country that produces corn will produce million bushels per week.
If each country specializes in the good in which it has a comparative advantage,....will gain from that trade because
The United States imports televisions from Japan and Japan imports computer chips from the United States. If the theory of comparative advantage guides trade between the two countries, it must be true that Group of answer choices the United States has comparative advantage in producing computer chips. the United States has comparative advantage in producing televisions. the opportunity cost of producing computer chips in the United States is higher than that in Japan. the opportunity cost of producing televisions in Japan is higher than that in the United States.
Consider a simplified example of two countries - Singapore and Indonesia - producing two goods – telecommunications equipment and electrical circuit apparatus. Using all its resources, Singapore can produce either 50 telecommunications equipment, or 100 electrical circuit apparatus. Using all its resources, Indonesia can produce either 1,000 telecommunications equipment, or 5,000 circuit apparatus. (a) Which country/countries has/have the absolute advantages and the comparative advantages in the production of telecommunications equipment, and of electrical circuit apparatus? Explain and show. (b) Consider the case of constant opportunity cost. What will be the resulting patterns of trade, terms-of-trade, and the aggregate production and consumption? Provide a diagram to illustrate, with telecommunications equipment on the y-axis. (c) It is found that contrary to the above, there is no complete specialisation in both Singapore and Indonesia. Instead, Singapore partially specialises in…

Assume that the world economy is composed of only two countries (Canada and the United States) and only two goods (steel and wheat). The table below reports the units of steel or wheat per unit of labor in Canada and in the United States Steel per Wheat per unit of labor unit of labor Canada United States 9. 3 Suppose both the US and Canada have 10 units of labor. Use the joint PPF to answer the following: If the two countries are producing 25 units of wheat, what is the opportunity cost of wheat? Hint: draw the PPF and ask what is the slope when 25 units are being produced? 2.5 2.75 3
