Consider two neighboring island countries called Dolorium and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Rye Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Dolorium 5 20 Contente 8 16 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of rye and 20 million pairs of jeans, and Contente produces 8 million bushels of rye and 48 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of rye and jeans…

Because the two countries produce more jeans and more rye under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption"). Contente Dolorium Jeans Rye Jeans Rye (Millions of pairs) (Millions of bushels) (Millions of pairs) (Millions of bushels) Without Trade Production 8. 48 15 20 Consumption 8. 48 15 20 With Trade Production 32 80 Trade action Exports 18 Imports 54 Imports 18 Exports 54 Consumption 14 54 18 26 Gains from Trade Increase in Consumption
