Now suppose that if Zimbabwe uses all of its resources, it can produce 50,000 tons of metal ores or 100,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate). Suppose that if South Africa uses all of its resources, it can produce 20,000 tons of metal ores or 80,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate). What is the direction of trade (who exports what to whom)? Be sure to give the opportunity costs of production of both goods for both countries.
What is one potential price of metal ores in terms of trucks at which both Zimbabwe and South Africa would benefit from trade? Rank the autarkic prices and the world price of metal ores from lowest to highest.
1. Now home opens up to trade. How does home's export supply curve change, if at all, after the population growth has occurred, compared to its export supply with only 25 workers? Draw the export supply curve for home for 25 workers and for 35 workers
2. What will happen to the equilibrium relative price of w heat under free trade? Show using a suitable diagram. Hint: Think about what happens to the foreign import demand curve when only home's population grows but foreign's population stays constant

- 6-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. Do you agree??? Explain!!! Among others you stated: “Trade between countries highly depends upon terms of trade. T.O.T. has important effects on the balance of payments or on its economic growth so the T.O.T. is used to measure the wellbeing of the country.” Further down though…you refute your previous statement by saying: “But T.O.T. should not be used to calculate wellbeing as its calculation does not show the volume of export of the country, only shows relative changes between countries….”etc.arrow_forward10. Given the above set of production possibilities and consumption (trade) possibilities frontiers, what happens to the prices of wine and cloth in each country as a result of trade? a) The price of wine in Portugal decreases from ⅓ yard/bottle to ½ yard/bottle. b) The price of cloth in Portugal increases from 3 bottles/yard to 2 bottles/yard. c) The price of wine in England decreases from 1 yard/bottle to ½ yard/bottle. d) The price of cloth in England increases from 1 bottle/yard to 3 bottles/yard. e) All of the abovearrow_forward3. Be sure to label all points. Suppose the domestic autarky relative price M/S=1 and autarky consumption takes place at point A with (M/S) = (75, 100). Production with free trade takes place at point B with (M, S) = (100, 70). Does the country specialize in the production of M or S? The country exports 15 units of M and 45 units of S are imported. Find the consumption bundle (M, S) and label it point C. Sketch the trade triangle. What are the terms of trade? Evaluate the gains from trade in terms of M for this economy.arrow_forward
