Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland both produce jeans and stained glass. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 4. pairs of jeans while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 10 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing stained glass in the two countries, you can tell that the production of stained glass and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland consider trading stained glass and jeans with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each pane of stained glass it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from of stained glass for each pair of jeans it exports to Portugal. trade as long as it receives more than has a comparative advantage in Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of stained glass in terms of jeans) would allow both Switzerland and Portugal to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 6 pairs of jeans per pane of stained glass 8 pairs of jeans per pane of stained glass

Suppose that Bob and Jimmy both have 10 hours of time that they can use to do one of two things: make pasta or make hamburgers. Bob can make 15 hamburgers in one hour and 3 plates of pasta in one hour. Jimmy can make 8 hamburgers in one hour and 2 plates of pasta in one hour. Who has comparative in the production of hamburgers? Who has comparative advantage in the production of pasta? If Bob and Jimmy trade, who should specialize in producing hamburgers and who should specialize in producing pancakes? Give an example of terms of trade at which mutually beneficial trade would be possible between Bob and Jimmy.
The countries of Sanaton and Microtania each produce two goods: Airplanes and Computers. The table below lists the opportunity costs associated with producing each good, for each country. Country Opportunity cost of producing 1 Airplanes Opportunity cost of producing 1 Computers Sanaton 4 Computers 0.25 Airplanes 2 Airplanes Microtania 0.5 Computers Currently, Sanaton does not trade with Microtania, and on its own produces 19 Airplanes and 24 Computers. On their own, Microtania produces 30 Airplanes and 35 Computers. Calculate total world supply: Airplanes: → Computers: If Sanaton decided to change its production of Airplanes by -2, calculate the change in the production of Computers: If Microtania changed its production of Airplanes by 8, calculate the change in production of Computers: A

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
