Be sure to identify which country has absolute advantage (U.S. or other), the product, and data to support your claim. Tip: When considering absolute and comparative advantage, worker hours to produce one unit is a reflection of productivity. b)Identify an example of comparative advantage relative to the United States from your data tables. Be sure to identify which country has comparative advantage (U.S. or other), the product, and data to support your claim. c) Explain why most trade occurs because of comparative advantage.

- 1. Determine which country has a comparative advantage in each good. 2. If Country A and Country B each have 100 units of labour, calculate the maximum production of each good for both countries. 3. In the absence of trade, Country B uses 20% of its total labour units to produce steel and the rest to produce oil. Country A uses 60% of its total labour units to produce steel and the rest to produce oil. Calculate how many tonnes of steel and oil can be produced by both countries. 4. Both countries agree that one tonne of steel can be exchanged for one tonne of oil. Calculate the gains after trade is allowed if Country A consumes 30 tonnes of oil domestically.Absolute and comparative advantage Consider two neighboring island countries, Botoga and Doporia. Each has 900,000 labor hours available per week that it can use to produce wheat, jeans, or a combination of both.
