Suppose that there are two countries, the North and the South. Given the North's resources, it can produce 4 Cars in an hour or 1 unit of wheat in an hour. Given the South's resources, it can produce 1 car per hour or 4 units of wheat in an hour. Both countries have forty hours in total to produce wheat and cars. Finally, the goal of each country is to have the most possible cars and wheat, but also to always have an equal amount of each. In other words, 10 cars and 10 wheat is just as valuable as 11 cars and 10 units of wheat, or 10 cars and 11 units of wheat, but 11 cars and 11 wheat would make the country even better off. The question below relates to the PPF for the North and the South. While you do not need to turn in a graph of the PPF, they may be helpful to answer these questions. Finally, the first set of questions refers to a world where the North and South cannot trade, while the second set of questions refers to a world where they can trade. In the latter set of…
Currently Bob is producing 8 apples and 9 peppers, while John is producing 3 apples and 3 peppers. If they instead specialized based on comparative advantage, the total number of peppers and apples would change by how much?
Assume that there are two Countries, Gabon and Togo. Togo can either produce 100 tons of Palm oil or 120 meters of cloth using their resources to the maximum and most efficiently. Gabon on the other hand can produce either 180 tons of palm oil or 50 meters of cloth using all their resources to the maximum and most efficiently. Assume that both countries experience constant opportunity cost in production: i) Draw PPF for each country placing palm oil on the y-axis. ii) Identify the comparative advantage for each country. Explain in terms of opportunity cost. iii) Indicate the trend of trade if the two countries had to trade
Van and Amy are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. ______ has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, andVan has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. _____ opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is ______ bushels of corn, whereas Amy's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_____ bushels of corn. Because Van has a______ opportunity cost of producing rye than Amy____ has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and_____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can produce 16 units of food per year or 8 units of clothing. Which of the following is true? Question 35 options: Georgeland has a comparative advantage, but not an absolute advantage, in producing clothing. Georgeland has both a comparative and absolute advantage in producing clothing. Alland has a comparative advantage, but not an absolute advantage, in producing food. Alland has an absolute advantage, but not comparative advantage, in producing food.

Two planets, Endor and Kamino, both produce two goods, blasters and radio devices. The below graphs show the PPF curves of each planet before specialization. Initially, each planet produces 50,000 radio devices and 5,000 blasters. In total, 100,000 radios and 10,000 blasters are produced. Which planet has a comparative advantage in producing radios and which planet has a comparative advantage in producing blasters? If each planet was to fully specialize in producing one good, how many radios in total would be produced and how many blasters in total would be produced? Suppose that the two planets trade 5,000 blasters for 90,000 radios. Graph and label the new points on each planet’s PPF using the graphs above. What is the outcome of specialization and trade for each planet?
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Glacier and Rainier. Both countries produce corn and basil, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of corn and 9 million pounds of basil, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

The U.S. and Canada both produce aircraft engines and tons of chemicals, which are sold for the same price in both countries. Suppose that with one unit of labor and one unit of capital, the U.S. can produce either 20 engines or 38 tons of chemicals and Canada can produce either 15 engines or 35 tons of chemicals. Which country has an absolute advantage producing chemicals?
Answer this for me mate. Much appreciated.
When a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of lemons and 12 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

advantage. The countries decide to exchange 24 million pounds of peas for 24 million pounds of pistachios. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Yosemite and Congaree. The following graph shows the same PPF for Yosemite as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Yosemite's consumption after trade. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. The following graph shows the same PPF for Congaree as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. As you did for Yosemite, place a black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate Congaree's consumption after trade.
