Discuss limitations of comparative advantage (Include in your answer at leastfive key limitations to this theory).C. Spencer Grant is a New York-based investor.

u work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, flopsicles, and mookies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies increases by 4%, the quantity of flopsicles sold increases by 1% and the quantity of mookies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following table by computing the…
Figure 3-1 CI 2: Wheat Wheat 10 Corn Corn Refer to Figure 3-1. Assume that Cliff and Paul were both producing wheat and corn, and each was dividing their time equally between the two. Then they decide to specialize in the product they have a comparative advantage in and trade 3 bushels of wheat for 3 bushels of corn. What would Cliff now be able to consume? 4 bushels of wheat and 3 bushels of corn 3 bushels of wheat and 4 bushels of corn 3 bushels of wheat and 3 bushels of corn 2 bushels of wheat and 3 bushels of corn

The United States Suppose the United States is currently producing 80 tons of hamburgers and 36 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 16 tons of hamburgers and 20 tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.

Suppose that Glacier and Congaree agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 16 million pounds of corn for 16 million pounds of basil. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Glacier and Congaree. The following graph shows the same PPF for Glacier as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Glacier's consumption after trade. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.

The New York Times (Nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of OPEC to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since June 1990.” Statements True False The members of OPEC were trying to agree to cut production so they could save more oil for the future. OPEC was unable to agree on cutting production because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement. The newspaper also noted OPEC's view “that producing nations outside the organization, like Norway and Britain, should do their share and cut production.” What does the phrase “do their share” suggest about OPEC's desired relationship with Norway and Britain? OPEC would like Norway and Britain to act competitively. OPEC would like Norway and Britain to keep their production levels high. OPEC would like Norway and Britain to join the cartel.

May and Raj me the only two growers who provide organically grown corn to a local grocery store. They know that if they cooperated and produced less corn, they could raise the price of the com. If they work independently, they will each earn 100. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, they call each earn 150. If one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $1 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn 200. Table 10.6 represents the choices available to Mary and Raj. What is the best choice for Raj if he is sole that Mary will cooperate? If Mary thinks Raj will cheat, what should Mary do and why? What is the prisoners dilemma result? What is the preferred choice if they could ensure cooperation? A = Work independently; B = Cooperate and Lower Output. (Each results entry lists Rajs earnings first, and Marys earnings second.)
