Draw a table showing Autarky price ratios for each country and a diagram for the consumption and production possibilities frontier in Autarky when Canada produces 2000 units of corn with all its labour resources or 8000 units of wool with all its labour resources, consumes 1000 of corn and 4000 of wheat. Brazil has 12000 units of labour available. It takes 6 hours to produce a unit of corn and 3 hours to produce a unit of wool. Brazil consumes 1200 corn and 1600 wool.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. 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. ols Corn Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Contente 16 A-Z Euphoria 20 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Contente produces million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Euphoria 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 these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn and jeans it produces. ▼…

Course: Macroeconomics Suppose that the USA can make 15,000,000 cars or 20,000,000 bottles of wine with one year's worth of labor. France can make 10,000,000 cars or 18,000,000 bottles of wine with one year's worth of labor. From these numbers, we can conclude: Which country has the absolute advantage in producing cars? Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? Which country has the comparative advantage in producing cars? Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? (Show opportunity cost calculations.)
Two countries, Korea and Vietnam, are engaging in international trade.They produce two goods: automobiles and cloth. We observe a relativeabundance of cheap labor in Vietnam and a relative abundance of capitalin South Korea. a. Assume that automobiles are capital-intensive and cloth are cheaplabor-intensive. Using the Hecksher-Ohlin theory, explain what willhappen in trade between these two countries, in terms of export andimport. c. Draw a graph that shows the above situation in South Korean economy with a P P F and two relative prices (one before trade and theother after trade). The quantity of automobiles (QAuto) is on thehorizontal axis and the quantity of cloth (QCloth) is on the verticalaxis.

French exports of wine will increase, French consumption of wine will increase and French imports of beef will decrease Oc. French exports of wine will increase, French consumption of wine will increase and French imports of beef will increase d. French exports of wine will increase, French consumption of wine will decrease and French imports of beef will decrease
