Consider the combined production possibility frontier for a two good (fish and apples), two-person (Dianne and Rachel) economy shown in the graph above. It is known that Dianne has a comparative advantage in fish production. Based on this information, identify whether each of the following would be true or false and briefly explain your reasoning. Dianne has an absolute advantage in both fish and apple production. The marginal cost of fish production for Dianne is 1 apple. The marginal cost of apple production for Rachel is 2 fish.
7. Transportation costs and comparative advantage The following graph shows a fictional world economy that consists of only two countries, Greenberg and Baxton. Both countries produce cars under increasing-cost conditions. Note that the left-hand part of the diagram is a mirror image of a standard supply-demand diagram, and therefore the supply and demand curves slope in directions opposite their usual directions.

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.
1.23 If two countries have differing opportunity costs of production for two goods, then: a) each country should specialise in the good for which it has a higher opportunity cost of production. b) only the country with an absolute advantage in the production of both goods stands to gain from trade. c) each country should purchase inputs from the other country in order to gain an absolute advantage. d) each country should specialise in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage.

There are two countries: Country A and Country B. These countries have the same amount of resources and both produce the same two goods, pencils and markers. The opportunity cost of pencils in Country A is ½ markers per pencil and the opportunity cost of pencils in Country B is 4 markers per pencil. Which country has a comparative advantage in each good? Group of answer choices Country A has a comparative advantage in both goods Country B has a comparative advantage in both goods Country A has a comparative advantage in markers; Country B has a comparative advantage in pencils Country A has a comparative advantage in pencils; Country B has a comparative advantage in markers

Mexico Suppose the United States is currently producing 100 tons of hamburgers and 30 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20 tons of hamburgers and 25 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)
Assume that Germany has 1200 units of labor available and it can produce two goods: apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2. France has a labor force of 800. Foreign's unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. a) Graph both countries' PPF. Clearly state which trade theory you are using and explain the reason. Note that the shape of the production possibility frontier depends on the theory. b) Show relative autarky price in Germany and France country. c) Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of apple? Why?
