Maldonia has a comparative advantage in the production of while Desonia has a comparative advantage in the production of Suppose that Maldonia and Desonia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of million pounds of grain and million pounds of tea. Suppose that Maldonia and Desonia 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 18 million pounds of grain for 18 million pounds of tea. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Maldonia and Desonia.

Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuela from Table 33.12 which describes how many barrels of oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Use these numbers to answer the rest of this question. Draw a production possibilities frontier for each country. Assume there are 100 workers in each country. Canadians and Venezuelans desire both oil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000 tons of lumber. Mark a point on their production possibilities where they can get at least 3,000 tons. Assume that the Canadians specialize completely because they figured out they have a comparative advantage in lumber. They are willing to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. How much oil should they ask for in return for this lumber to be as well off as they were with no trade? How much should they ask for if they want to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note: We can think of this ask as the relative price or trade price of lumber. Is the Canadian ask you identified in (b) also beneficial for Venezuelans? Use the production possibilities frontier graph for Venezuela to show that Venezuelans can gain from trade.

Table 33.15 shows how the average costs of production for semiconductors (the chips In computer memories) change as the quantity of semiconductors built at that factory increases. Based on these data, sketch a curve with quantity produced on the horizontal axis and average cost of production on the vertical axis. How does the curve illustrate economies of scale? If the equilibrium quantity of semiconductors demanded is 90,000, can this economy take full advantage of economies of scale? What about if quantity demanded is 70,000 semiconductors? 50,000 semiconductors? 30,000 semiconductors? Explain how international trade could make it possible for even a small economy to take full advantage of economies of scale, while also benefiting from competition and the variety offered by several producers.

I need help with questions 9 and 10. For question 9, since the x and y value are the same, I dont know how to identify in what type of production Pam has a comparative advantage in. For question 10, I do not understand how to calculate the combined output according to each person's specialization.
A semiconductor is a key component in your laptop, cell phone, and iPod. The table providesinformation about the market for semiconductors in the United States. Producers ofsemiconductors can get $18 a unit on the world market.a. With no international trade, what would be the price of a semiconductor and how manysemiconductors a year would be bought and sold in the United States?b. Does the United States have a comparative advantage in producing semiconductors?c. Draw a graph (graph is for your own reference, not required to be attached in the answersheet) to illustrate the U.S. supply and demand market for semiconductors. What is the pricewith free international trade? What is the quantity of semiconductors produced in U.S. andtotal quantity bought by U.S. people and the quantity exported from other countries?d. Due to loss of competitiveness brought on by appreciation of the exchange rate and the highproduction costs, U.S. government reduce the export (or limit the supply of…
