- In Germany it takes three workers to make one television and four workers to make one video camera. In Poland It takes six workers to make one television and 12 workers to make one video camera. Who has the absolute advantage in the production of televisions? Who has the absolute advantage in the production of video cameras? How can you tell? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one additional television set in Germany and In Poland. (Your calculation may involve fractions, which Is tine.) Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of televisions? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one video camera in Germany and in Poland. Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of video cameras? In this example, is absolute advantage the same as comparative advantage, or not? In what product should Germany specialize? In what product should Poland specialize?From earlier chapters you will recall that technological change shifts the average cost curves. Draw a graph showing how technological change could influence intra-industry trade.1.Suppose we have the following information about the productivity of industry inJapan and Korea. The data are the units of output per hour of work.Steel TelevisionsJapan 6 3Korea 8 2A Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour. A Korean workercan produce 8 units of steel or 2 televisions per hour. Plot the production possibilities frontierfor each country, assuming each country has only one worker and the worker works only onehour. To plot the frontier, plot the end points and connect them with a line. For example, Japancan produce 6 units of steel with its worker or 3 televisions. It can also allocate 1/2 hour to the production of each and get 3 units of steel and 1 1/2 televisions. a) What is the range of prices at which each country would be willing to exchange?

They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Corn Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between…Below is the data for the maximum production of the only two products for the countries of Oz and Zas.

- 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. The following table shows the amount of labor hours required to produce 1 bushel of wheat or 1 pair of jeans. Wheat Jeans Country (Labor hours per bushel) (Labor hours per pair) Botoga 40 10 Doporia 36 6 _______ (Botoga / Neither / Doporia) has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat, and ______ (Botoga / Neither / Doporia) has an absolute advantage in the production of jeans. Initially, suppose Botoga uses 225,000 hours of labor per week to produce wheat and 675,000 hours per week to produce jeans, while Doporia uses 675,000 hours of labor per week to produce wheat and 225,000 hours per week to produce jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between these two countries,…Trade between individuals and between nations leads to: O Increased specialization O Lower living standards Higher product prices Greater self-sufficiencySuppose there are two countries Peru and Japan that produce Food and Fuel. Peru can produce 7,523 units of Food or 17,853 units of Fuel using a labour force of 8000. Japan can produce 5,733 units of Food or 24,156 units of Fuel using a labour force of 5000.
