Please answer Q) d,e,f!!

Thank you!

 

2. Consider the following Ricardian example, using standard Ricardian assumption:
Vintland
Moonited
Labour hours per bottle of wine
7.5
Labour hours per kg of cheese
5
a) Which country has an absolute advantage in wine? In Cheese?
b) Which country has a comparative advantage in wine? Cheese? (Calculate the opportunity
cost of wine and cheese in each country.) Put the numbers in the following table:
Vintland
Moonited
Wine price
Cheese price
c) Suppose that Vintland has 10 million hours of labour and Moonited has 15 million hours
of labour. Graph each country's production possibilities curve. If Vintland produces 3
million cheese and Moonited produces 1.5 million kilos of cheese, how much wine is
produced by each country? Show all on graph.

Show all on graph.
d) When trade opened which country exports which good? Suppose the international price is
½ bottle of wine per kilo of cheese, what happens to production in each country (in terms
of specialization of goods)?
e) In this free-trade equilibrium, 2 million kilos of cheese and 1 million bottle of wine are
traded. What is the consumption point in each country with free trade? Show this
graphically. Also show vertical and horizontal intercepts of the trade lines for each
country.
f) Does each country gain from trade? Explain, referring to your graphs as is appropriate.
