- France and Tunisia both have Mediterranean climates that are excellent for producing/harvesting green beans and tomatoes. In France it takes two hours for each worker to harvest green beans and two hours to harvest a tomato. Tunisian workers need only one hour to harvest the tomatoes but four hours to harvest green beans. Assume there are only two workers, one in each country, and each works 40 hours a week. Draw a production possibilities frontier for each country. Hint: Remember the production possibility frontier is the maximum that all workers can produce at a unit of time which, in this problem, is a week. Identify which country has the absolute advantage in green beans and which country has the absolute advantage in tomatoes. Identity which country has the comparative advantage. How much would France have to give up In terms of tomatoes to gain from trade? How much would it have to give up in terms of green beans?Country A Country B No. of pencils 100 50 produced pounds of paper produced 150 150 a)Country A and Country B can both produce paper and pencils, according to the table above and using the same amount of time and resources. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing each good? choices Country A has absolute advantage in pencils, but neither country has absolute advantage in paper Country A has absolute advantage in both Country B has absolute advantage in both Country B has absolute advantage in paper, but Country A has absolute advantage in pencils Neither country has absolute advantage in either goodThe following production possibilities schedule shows the quantities of soybeans and oil that can be produced in Canada and Mexico with one unit of equivalent resources Of (barrels) 12 6 Canada Mexico Mexico would not gain by producing and exporting oil and importing soybeans unless it received O A more than 4 17 bushels of soybeans per barrel of of OB. 2 bushels of soybeans per barrel of o OC any quantity of soybeans OD. more than 5 42 bushels of soybeans per barrel of ol OE more than 0.5 barrel of ol Soybeans (bushels) 65 25

If the production possibilities frontier shown is for 24 hours of production, then how long does it take Brazil to make one pound of peanuts?Table 3-23 Assume that the farmer and the rancher can switch between producing pork and producing tomatoes at a constant rate. Labor Hours Needed to Make 1 Pound of Pounds Produced in 24 Hours Pork Tomatoes Pork Tomatoes Farmer 16 3 14 18 Rancher 14 16 16 Refer to Table 3-23. Assume that the farmer and the rancher each has 24 labor hours available. If each person spends all his time producing the good in which he has a comparative advantage, then total production is a. 4 pounds of pork and 6 pounds of tomatoes. b. 6 pounds of pork and 8 pounds of tomatoes. c. 4 pounds of pork and 8 pounds of tomatoes. d. 6 pounds of pork and 6 pounds of tomatoes.SUVs (millions per year) 5 4 3 2 A 2 B ו 3 5 6 Compact cars (millions per year) The figure above shows the production possibilities frontier for a country.

O b. acquire more resources and/or more advanced technology. C. decrease SUV production by 4 million. d. decrease SUV production by 1 million.
- Draw a table showing Autarky price ratios for each country and a diagram for the consumption and production possibilities frontier in Autarky when Canada produces 2000 units of corn with all its labour resources or 8000 units of wool with all its labour resources, consumes 1000 of corn and 4000 of wheat. Brazil has 12000 units of labour available. It takes 6 hours to produce a unit of corn and 3 hours to produce a unit of wool. Brazil consumes 1200 corn and 1600 wool.Answer the questions based on the figure below, which is for one of the small moons of the planet Quantz.
