Attempts Keep the Highest/ 4 3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Rye Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Contente 12 24 Euphoria 8 32 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Contente produces 12 million bushels of rye and 72 million pairs of jeans, and Euphoria produces 24 million bushels of rye and 32 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of rye and jeans it produces. Contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is of jeans, and Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is v of jeans. Therefore, v has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces rye will produce million bushels per week, and the country that produces jeans will produce million pairs per week. In the following table, enter each country's production decision on the third row of the table (marked "Production"). Suppose the country that produces rye trades 26 mnillion bushels of rye to the other country in exchange for 78 million pairs of jeans. In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and enter each country's final consumption of each annd on the line marked "Concumntion "
