With its existing resources Country A can produce either 500 million bushels of wheat or 40 million cars. They are presently not engaged in trade and are choosing to produce and consume 375 million bushels of wheat and 10 million cars. The country decides to completely specialize in wheat production. They trade 100 million bushels of wheat in exchange for 12 million cars. After trade they can consume million more bushels of wheat and million more cars than they could before trade?
K Suppose the United States and Mexico both produce hamburgers and tacos. The combinations of the two goods that each country can produce in one day are presented in the table below. United States Mexico Hamburgers (in tons) 0 40 80 120 Which country has an absolute advantage in producing tacos? Mexico Tacos (in tons) 108 72 36 0 Hamburgers (in tons) 0 8 16 24 Tacos (in tons) 60 40 20 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing tacos? The United States Suppose the United States is currently producing 80 tons of hamburgers and 36 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 16 tons of hamburgers and 20 tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.
