Question

Assume that Home and Foreign produce two goods, TVs and cars, and use the information below to answer the following questions:

Home Country                                                                Foreign Country

Wage tv = 12.    MPLtv =2                                              Wage*tv = ? MPL*tv =? P*tv = 3

Ptv = ?    Wage c = ?                                                        Wage*c = 6 MPL*c =1 P*c = ?

MPLc =?   Pc=4

  1. What is the marginal product of labor for TVs and cars in the Home country? What is the no-trade relative price of TVs at Home?

  2. What is the marginal product of labor for TVs and cars in the Foreign country? What is the no-trade relative price of TVs in Foreign?

  3. Suppose the world relative price of TVs in the trade equilibrium is PTV /PC = 1. Which good will each country export? Briefly explain why.
