- Assume that two countries, A and B, can produce Beef and Barbecues and the production possibilities frontiers of two countries are represented by: Country A: Beef = 30 - 1.25 BBQ and Country B: BBQ = 15 - 0.5 Beef Barbecues are measured in units, beef in kilograms. a) On a single chart, graph the production possibility frontiers for Country A and for Country B. Make sure you use a good scale and mark all your axes and important curves or points. b) Interpret the slope and the shape of the PPF for each country and make the relevant comparisons. c) Assume that each country allocates half of its resources to the production of beef and half of its resources to the production of barbecues. Under autarky (No trade), how much would each country consume of the two products? Plot these points on the graph as Ca and Cb respectively d) Should either of these countries specialize in the production of beef and/or barbecues? If yes, explain which country and which products and why. If they…arrow_forwardIn the Heckscher-Ohlin model, suppose the two factors of production are: high-skilled labor (H) and regular labor (L).
