The intercept on the vertical axis equals 16 and on the horizontal axis equals 24. Point A shows a point where an indifference curve is tangent to the production possibilities curve where televisions on the vertical axis equal 8 and refrigerators on the horizontal axis equal 12. A downward sloping straight line representing the international terms of trade starts at a point where refrigerators equal 24; an indifference curve is tangent to this line at a point where televisions equal 12 and refrigerators equal 16. Referring to Figure 2.2, Canada has a comparative advantage in: Refrigerators
2. Consider a simple exchange economy with two people: Bob and Jake. Bob and Jake both have ten hours of time available. They can use their time to do one of two things: make pancakes or make hamburgers. Bob can make two hamburgers in an hour or one pancake in an hour. Jake can make three pancakes in an hour or four hamburgers in an hour. a.) Draw Bob and Jake’s PPFs with hamburgers on the x-axis. Give equations for both PPFs in y=mx+b form. b.) Can Bob and Jake both benefit from trade if the terms of trade are three pancakes per hamburger? Why or why not?

1. Consider a market of two farmers which are also consumers. The following table contains the maximum production levels over a time period of 8 hours for both wheat and wine. As usual, we assume linear production possibility frontiers. Farmer Wheat Wine 10kg 15kg Albert 21 Berta 11 (a) Identify absolute advantages for each good. (b) Identify comparative advantage.

4. Terms of trade Suppose that Portugal and Germany both produce fish and cheese. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 pounds of fish while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 11 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. Suppose that Portugal and Germany consider trading cheese and fish with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of fish for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it of cheese for each pound of fish it exports to Portugal. receives more than has a comparative advantage in the Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of fish) would allow both Germany and Portugal to gain from trade?
