Point A Point B Point C Point D Suppose the two nations decide to trade with each other at a rate of one robot vacuum cleaner per plastic army man (1:1). On the previous graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to represent the terms of trade to help you find your answer to the following question. You will not be graded on where you place the line on the graph. Which of the grey points (star symbol) that were not attainable by either country in autarky are attainable once the countries agree to trade, holding all else constant? Check all that apply. Point W Point X Point Y Point Z Suppose Fireton and Greenburg engage in trade, and both nations desire the same post-trade consumption bundle. (Note: Assume both countries will not waste any resources.)

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Honduras and Brazil, representing hypothetical levels of production, are shown in the graphs. Assume that, without trade, each country is initially producing and consuming at point A on its PPF curve. Suppose these countries decide to trade. Each country will specialize in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage. Assume the countries agree to trade. The terms of trade are 6000 tons of bananas for 4000 tons of steel. Move the post‑trade consumption point for each country to reflect their post‑trade consumption. Which good will each country produce? Honduras will produce bananas and Brazil will produce steel. Brazil will produce both bananas and steel. Honduras will produce both bananas and steel. Honduras will produce steel and Brazil will produce bananas.
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Freedonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce potatoes and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 6 million pounds of potatoes and 3 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A. Suppose that Freedonia and Lamponia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 2 million pounds of potatoes for 2 million pounds of tea. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Freedonia and Lamponia. The following graph shows the same PPF for Freedonia as before, as well as its…
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Maldonia and Desonia. Both countries produce grain and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of grain and 9 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A. Maldonia has a comparative advantage in the production of (GRAIN, SUGAR, NEITHER GRAIN OR SUGAR, BOTH GRAIN AND SUGAR) , while Desonia has a comparative advantage in the production of (GRAIN, SUGAR, NEITHER GRAIN OR SUGAR, BOTH GRAIN AND SUGAR) . Suppose that Maldonia and Desonia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two…
Specialization and trade When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Shenandoah and Congaree. Both countries produce peas and lentils, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 36 million pounds of peas and 18 million pounds of lentils, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A. Shenandoah has a comparative advantage in the production of PEAS or LENTILS or NEITHER PEAS OR LENTILS or BOTH PEAS AND LENTILS. while Congaree has a comparative advantage in the production of PEAS or LENTILS or NEITHER PEAS OR LENTILS or BOTH PEAS AND LENTILS. Suppose that Shenandoah and Congaree specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative…

In 2010, Switzerland-based Nestlé began sailing supermarket barges up and down parts of the Amazon River. The barges carry approximately 300 different goods and cater to about a dozen local communities that fish the Amazon's bountiful rivers and whose members lack the time and money to visit a conventional store. Which advantage from trade is illustrated in this passage?a.differences in preferencesb.specializationc.comparative advantaged.Each of these advantages is illustrated in the passage.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your ability to draw a simple production possibilities curve given data on the quantity of one input (labor) and the amount of labor required to produce each of two outputs (guns and butter). You should also be able to identify the opportunity cost of one good in terms of the other as the slope of the PPC. You will explain your analysis of the figures to explain why it’s not possible to produce combinations of the two goods outside the PPC.Guns or Butter?Suppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns or butter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor to produce.Explain why scarcity exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of your reasoning.What is the maximum quantity of guns that can be produced?What is the maximum quantity of butter than can be produced?Draw the nation’s production possibility curve.What is the opportunity cost of guns in this…
a) What will the value of the PPF/PPC be in a two factor model with L=Labor along the horizontal axis, and K=Capital along the vertical axis? Explain b) Look at a country’s Terms of Trade (T.O.T.). It is assumed that when the T.O.T. value increases the country’s wellbeing goes up, and when the T.O.T. value declines, the country’s wellbeing is reduced. Explain.
Debra can make either 12 cakes or 16 cookies in 4 hours. Sam can make either 6 cakes or 12 cookies in 4 hours.c. If both Debra and Sam concentrate on producing only the product in which they havea comparative advantage, how many cakes and how many cookies will they produce?
Two planets, Endor and Kamino, both produce two goods, blasters and radio devices. The below graphs show the PPF curves of each planet before specialization. Initially, each planet produces 50,000 radio devices and 5,000 blasters. In total, 100,000 radios and 10,000 blasters are produced. Which planet has a comparative advantage in producing radios and which planet has a comparative advantage in producing blasters? If each planet was to fully specialize in producing one good, how many radios in total would be produced and how many blasters in total would be produced? Suppose that the two planets trade 5,000 blasters for 90,000 radios. Graph and label the new points on each planet’s PPF using the graphs above. What is the outcome of specialization and trade for each planet?
Analyze the following (2x2) matrix. Identify the countries having certain advantages. Moreover, specify the benefits of trade for both countries. Matrix A Wheat (bushels/labor hour ) Cloth (yards/labor hour) United States 6 4 U.K. 1 3 (Numerical values reflect output per unit of input) Will trade occur? Identify the country having the absolute advantage in wheat and the one having the absolute advantage in cloth. Identify the production possibility frontiers for both countries. Show the gains of trade if we assume that the U.S. exchanges 6 units of wheat for 6 units of cloth.
