The Power of Trade and Comparative Advantage: Work It Out 5

intuition about the names of countries or the products to figure out the answer.
Consider the following productivity table:
Mandovia
Ducennia
Number of Hours to Make One Rotid
Output of rotids for Mandovia:
Total rotid output:
50
150
Number of Hours to Make One Tauron
d. Now allow specialization. One billion hours of labor are available for making products in Mandovia, and 2 billion hours of
labor are available for making products in Ducennia. If each country completely specializes in the product in which it holds the
comparative advantage, what will the total output of rotids be? Of taurons? Is the total output of each product higher than
before?
million
100
million

Output of rotids for Ducennia:
