- Suppose country A and B have a labour force of 1 and produce hops and barley using only labour. Country A's unit labour cost are 0.5 for hops and 0.5 for barley, country B's 0.2 for hops and 0.4 for barley. Suppose that both are needed to brew beer in equal quantitiy, so that both national and international demand has the property that equal amounts of barley and hops are demanded. How much more beer (as a percentage) will be brewed under international trade than in autarky? Please enter the percentage rounded to a whole number (up or down is both acceptable) without the percentage sign.Suppose there are two countries Peru and Japan that produces 7,523 units ofFood or 17,853 units of Fuel using a labour force of 8000. Japan can produce 5,733 units of Food or 24,156 units of Fuel using a labour force of 5,000. a) On two seperate graphs sketch the initial PFF for the two countries with Food on the x-axis. b) If Japan and Peru employ half it workers to produce Fuel how much each good can consume? Label this point A and A* respectively. c) Which country has the absolute advantage in food? In fuel? Explain. d) Which country has the comparative advantage in food? In fuel? Explain. e) Which good(s) should each country specialized in?Assume w and w* are wage rates per hour in Home and in Foreign; aLi and a*Li are the unit labor requirements for Home and Foreign in production of good i.

- Consider two countries, Home and Foreign and two goods appples and bananas. In the Home country the unit labour requiremrents for apples and bananas are repectively 3 and 2. In the Foreign country the unit labour requirements for apples and bananas are 5 and 1 respectively. The Home country has a labour force of 1200 and the Foreign country has a labour force of 800. Graph the Production Possiblity Frontiers for each of the two countries. What are the prices of apples in terms of bananas in both countries in the absence of trade? Why? Construct the world relative supply function. Suppose that the world relative demand takes the following form: demand for ap- ples/demand for bananas = banana price/apple price. Draw the world relative de- mand curve superimposed on the world relative supply curve. What is the equilibrium relative price of apples under free trade? Describe the pattern of trade. Show that each of the two countries gain from trade. Suppose that instead of 1200…1. If Country A and Country B each have 100 units of labour, calculate the maximum production of each good for both countries.6). Home is as described in problem 5. There is now also another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 800. Foreign’s unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in bananas production it is 1. a) When all the labor in Foreign country only produce apples, how many units of apples can be produce? b) When all the labor in Foreign country only produce bananas, how many units of bananas can be produce?
- 3. If you have the following information: Unit labor requirement in Unit labor requirement in Wages Good 1 Good 2 Country A Country B $ 30 /hour $ 80 /hour 3 5 1 Which country has a cost advantage in producing which good and why?Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas.The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2. Foreign has a labor force of 800. Foreign's unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. 1. After trade, which price would be possible? 2 or 6? 2 Describe the pattern of trade. ? 3 Using the price you have chosen in question 3, show that both Home and Foreign'gain from trade ?Consider two countries, Spain and Russia and two goods, wine and vodka. Labour is the only factor of production. The per unit labour requirements for wine is 2 in Spain and 5 in Russia. Meanwhile the per unit labour requirements for vodka is 2 in each of the two countries. The wages in Spain are 50 % higher than the wages in Russia. What is the cost of producing wine in Spain relative to the cost of producing wine in Russia? What is the cost of producing vodka in Spain relative to the cost of producing vodka in Russia? In the absence of transport costs will there be trade? If yes, then who will specializein what? Illustrate your answer numerically. Now introduce transport costs: Exporting wine and vodka abroad increases the initial cost by 100 %. What happens to the trade between Spain and Russia? Illustrate your answer numerically.
