1. One German worker can produce either 5 cars or 10 tons of grain a year. One Japanese worker can produce either 4 cars or 5 tons of grain a year. To keep things simple, assume that each country has 100 million workers. Japan well as the PPE 6 L which country has an absolute advantage in produ f) Given all the information above, which country has a comparative advantage in producing cars? Which country has a comparative advantage in producing grain? Why? g) Both countries will spend half of each country's workers produce cars and half produce grain. Complete the following table with the quantities of cars produced and consumed in each country if there is no trade. Car Produced and Consumed (million) Tons of Grain Produced and Consumed (million) Germany Japan h) If each country only produces the good in which they have a comparative advantage and then traded 300 million tons of grain for 200 million cars, will both countries be better off?

Question 1A. Define and explain the theory of comparative advantage (use an example ifnecessary).B. Discuss limitations of comparative advantage (Include in your answer at leastfive key limitations to this theory).C. Spencer Grant is a New York-based investor. He has been closely following hisinvestment in 100 shares of Vaniteux, a French firm that went public in Februaryof 2010. When he purchased his 100 shares at €17.25 per share, the euro wastrading at $1.360/€.
