Short Answer (8.0score) 33. The chart below is the prodution cost of US. and UK. U.S. U.K. Wheat (bushels/labor hour) 6 1 Cloth (yards/labor hour) 4 2 question: (1) explain the comparative advantage of each nation; (2) what is the gain from trade if the two trade for 4 wheat for 4 cloth?
(b) Assuming that there are only two nations in the world, Africa and the USA, each nation produces gold (G) and corn (C). Also assume that labor is the only factor of production. The table below shows how much of each good a country can produce using one hour of labor time. AFRICA USA GASOLINE 50 15 (barrels/hr) CORN (tonnes/hr) 30 25 I. Identify which country has the Absolute Advantage and Disadvantage in each good. Justify your answer. II. Identify which country has the Comparative Advantage and Disadvantage in each good.

Minerals 25 (millions of tons) 20 15 10 5 5 10 15 20 25 Grapes (millions of tons) Figure 1 Production possibility frontier for Highland Towards the right of Figure 1 are two circular red markers with a line between them that you can use to draw a production possibility frontier on Figure 1. You can move the markers with the mouse by clicking on them and dragging. Alternatively, you can tab to each marker and then use the keyboard arrow keys. Decide where to position the red markers based on the information below. There are two countries, called Highland and Lowland, with very different geography. They both produce grapes and dig for minerals, using only labour, with constant returns to scale. Figure 1 shows the production possibility frontier for Highland and the table shows the working population and productivity for Lowland. Working population and production possibilities Working population Production of tons of grapes per person per year Production of tons of minerals per person per…

R Imagine that it costs $40 in the United States to produce one ton of soybeans and transport them to market, while it costs $30 in Brazil to produce one ton of soybeans and transport them to market Imagine that it costs $20,000 in the United States to produce one automobile and transport it to maket, while costs $10,000 in Brazil to produce one automobile and transport it to market. Which of the following four arrangements would be most efficient? (Hint: Derived OC from PPF (production) = 1/OC derived from costs to make ) a. The United States should produce everything, since it can produce both soybeans and automobiles better than Brazil can produce them. Ob. Brazil should specialize and produce only automobiles. The United States should specialize and produce only soybeans. Then the two countries should trade with each other. Brazil will send automobiles to the United States, while the United States sends soybeans to the Brazil. Oc. The United States should specialize and produce…
(NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES) The demand and supply functions for oil for the current generation (in million barrels) is: Demand: Qd = 250 – 5P Supply: Qs = 5P a. Assume the current generation does not consider the future at all. Draw a supply and demand graph showing the equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q) consumed by this generation showing clearly the numbers for P and Q. b. Calculate the marginal net benefit (MNB) of consumption on this period and draw the graph. Explain your answer. [Hint: to calculate the MNB, convert the supply and demand curves as a function of quantity, P = f(Q)] c. Assume that the next generation will have the same demand. Supply for both generations is only 250 million barrels. Interest rate (r) is 5%. Calculate the efficient allocation of resources between the two generations. Thank you Bartleby for the help! I really need it!
