According to the principle of comparative advantage, - countries should specialize in the production of goods for which they use more resources than their trading partners - countries with a comparative advantage in the production of every good need not specialize - countries should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners - countries should specialize in the production of goods for which they use fewer resources than their trading partners
(Comparative Advantage) Suppose that each US worker can produce 8 units of food or 2 units of clothing daily. In Fredonia, which has the same number of workers, each worker can produce 7 units of food or 1 unit of clothing daily. Why does the US have an absolute advantage in both goods? Which country enjoys a comparative advantage in food? Why?

A producer has a comparative advantage in a good if it is the lowest opportunity cost producer of this good, even if it is not the most efficient producer of this good. True False
In Country T, it takes 10 resources to produce 1 ton of cocoa and 13.5 resources to produce 1 ton of rice. In Country Y, it takes 40 resources to produce 1 ton of cocoa and 20 resources to produce 1 ton of rice. Country T has a comparative advantage over Country Y in cocoa. This follows the theory of comparative advantage, and we can say that engaging in free trade benefits all countries that participate in it; however, this conclusion stems from which of these inaccurate assumptions? Multiple Choice We have assumed constant returns to scale. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing particular products. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.

What is the relationship between production costs and comparative advantage? Group of answer choices Comparative advantage considers, “How much am I giving up to produce this good in this country?” Comparative advantage identifies the good for which the producer’s absolute advantage is relatively smaller. Comparative advantage identifies where the producer’s absolute productivity disadvantage is relatively larger. Comparative advantage happens when the production costs for both trading partners are the same.
