In Japan, one worker can make 5 tons of rubber or 80 radios. In Malaysia, one worker can make 10 tons of rubber or 40 radios. Who has the absolute advantage in the production of rubber or radios? How can you tell? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing 80 additional radios in Japan and in Malaysia. (Your calculation may involve fractions, which is fine,) Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of radios? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing 10 additional tons of rubber in Japan and in Malaysia. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing rubber? In this example, does each country have an absolute advantage and a comparative advantage in the same good? In what product should Japan specialize? In what product should Malaysia specialize?

Draw a domestic supply and demand diagram for a product in which the United States does not have a comparative advantage. What impact do foreign imports have on domestic price and quantity? On your diagram show a protective tariff that eliminates approximately one-half of the assumed imports. What are the price-quantity effects of this tariff on ( a) domestic consumers, (b) domestic producers, and (c) foreign exporters? How would the effects of a quota that creates the same amount of imports differ?

Please correct answer and don't use hand rating

Choose four countries. One country in North America, another country in Central America, another country in the Caribbean and another country in South America and indicate, using the gravity model, which factors should increase or reduce trade between those countries. After that, choose a country in Europe and indicate, using the Gravity Model, how the intensity of trade changes with five countries. You must take into account the concept of the gravity model and the factors that affect trade such as language, culture, trade agreements, among others. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Refer to the figure regarding countries A and B. If each country allocated half of its labor force to the production of each good before trade and then each specialize in their comparative advantage and allocate 75 percent of its labor force to the production of that good, world production of good X would change by -- and production of good Y by- Good Y 100 Country B Good X 80 Country A 40 100

The following hypothetical production possibilities tables are for China and the United States. Assume that before specialization and trade, the optimal product mix for China is alternative B and for the United States is alternative U.   a. Are comparative-cost conditions such that the two areas should specialize? If so, what product should each produce? b. What is the total gain in apparel and chemical output that would result from such specialization? c. What are the limits of the terms of trade? Suppose that the actual terms of trade are 1 unit of apparel for 1 unit of chemicals and that 4 units of apparel are exchanged for 6 units of chemicals.
