If the workers continue to try and produce both, how many pencils will each worker produce, and how many pens will each worker produce?

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.

Please examine the data describing unit labor requirements and labor productivity for two nations. These nations are only able to produce one of two items - ships and planes. Given this information, what is the value of the cell labeled B? Unit Labor Requirements Hours of labor required to produce one unit Inland Ships Planes 2 Harborton 4 1 0.5 Labor Productivity How many units can be produced in one hour Inland Harborton Ships A 0.25 Planes 1.0 B 2 units 1 unit 0.5 units O units

Country A has 6 million workers and Country B has 9 million workers. Each worker in Country A can produce 3 units of corn or 2 units of fabric in a year. Each worker in Country B can produce 1 unit of corn or 2 units of fabric in a year. a) What is country A’s opportunity cost of producing one unit of corn (in terms of units of fabric given up)? What is country B’s opportunity cost of producing one unit of fabric (in terms of units of corn given up)? b)  Which country has a comparative advantage in producing corn? c) If the countries do not trade, then in each country, 1/3 of the population produces fabric and 2/3 produces corn. Consider a trade proposal: A trades 2 million units of corn for 1 million units of fabric from B. Assume the two countries first observe the proposal, then adjust the fractions of their population between the two productions, and finally trade according to the proposal. Compared to the case without trade, can the proposal increase each country’s fabric and…
