1. The countries France and Italy produce Perfumes and Leather Coats using only labor as an input. AvailableLabor for France and Italy is 3000 and 1000 respectively. Unit of labor per Leather Coat in France is 6 units and inItaly are 2 units. France needs 2 units of labors to produce 1 bottle of Perfume and Italy needs 4 unit of labor. a) Draw the Production Possibility Curve by using relevant information. b) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing Perfume?

You just got a job in Washington, D.C. You moveinto an apartment with some acquaintances. All yourroommates, however, are slackers and do not clean upafter themselves. You, on the other hand, can clean fasterthan each of them. You determine that you are 70%faster at dishes and 10% faster with vacuuming. All ofthese tasks have to be done daily. Which jobs shouldyou assign to your roommates to get the most free timeoverall? Assume you have the same number of hours todevote to cleaning. Now, since you are faster, you seemto get done quicker than your roommate. What sortsof problems may this create? Can you imagine a traderelated analogy to this problem?
Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Jeans Rye (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Felicidad 5 20 Contente 8 16 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye, and Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye. 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 jeans and…

Suppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?

Please no written by hand solution Two countries each produce two goods. Country 1 has 200 workers and Country 2 has 600 workers. If they do not trade, Country 1 produces 5 units of good 1 and 1 unit of good ECON 212 Microeconomics II Ayça Tekin-Koru HOMEWORK 1 PAGE 2 2, and Country 2 produces 10 units of good 1 and 10 units of good 2. The following table shows how many workers are necessary to produce each good: Country 1 Country 2 Workers per unit of good 1 20 20 Workers per unit of good 2 100 40 a) In the absence of trade, how many units of goods 1 and 2 can Country 2 produce? How many can Country 1 produce? b) Which country has a comparative advantage in producing good 1? In producing good 2? c) Draw the production possibility for each country and show where the two produce without trade. Put good 1 on vertical axis and good 2 on horizontal axis. d) Draw the production possibility frontier with trade. e) Show that both countries can benefit from trade.
