Suppose that each country currently has 140 workers and each decides to transfer some amount of labor toward its area of comparative advantage. The United States transfers 15 workers away from socks toward producing cell phones. Thailand transfers 28 workers away from cell phones toward producing socks. What will be the new total output of cell phones for both countries combined?   Country # of workers needed to produce 1,000 units- Socks # of workers needed to produce 1,000 units- Cell Phones United States 5 workers 1 worker Thailand 7 workers 4 workers Total Production Before Trade Country Current Sock Production Current Cell Phone Production United States 14,000 70,000 Thailand 10,000 17,500 Total 24,000 87,500

Suppose that a worker in Country A can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Country B can produce either 2 units of corn or 6 units of wheat per year. Each nation has 10 workers. Without trade, Country A produces and consumes 30 units of corn and 10 units of wheat per year. Country B produces and consumes 10 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. Suppose that trade is then initiated between the two countries, and Country A sends 30 units of corn to Country B in exchange for 30 units of wheat. Country A will now be able to consume a maximum of Select one: a.30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. b.40 units of corn and 20 units of wheat. c.40 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. d.10 units of corn and 40 units of wheat.

Suppose Malaydia's production possibilities include a maximum of 150 units of rice and 250 units of lumber, and Canada's production possibilities include a maximum of 300 units of rice or 160 units of lumber. Then suppose each country initially allocates 50% of it's labor to producing each product. a. Total produxtion by the 2 countries equal of rice and lumber? b. Now suppose Malaysia increases the labor it allocates to kumber by 10%. Its lumber production rise by and it's rice production falls by. C. If Canada reallocates it's labor to increase its rice production by exactly the amount that Malaydia's rice production fell, by how much must it's lumber production fall? d. State the combines effects on total production of the reallocations in part b and c. Total production of rice changes by Total production of lumber changes by ____.

The table below shows the production of oil and lumber of ONE worker in China and India: rice (in pounds) shirts (unit) CHINA 400 200 INDIA 330 110 a) BEFORE trade (or with no trade), each country has 100 workers, and they allocate the worker for the production of the goods in the following way: China allocates 35 workers in the production of rice, and 65 workers in the production of shirts; India allocates 50 workers in the production of rice and 50 workers in the production of shirts. Find the maximum production and consumption of both goods for each country! b) If the countries decide to engage in trade (WITH TRADE), they will specialize in the production of the good in which they have comparative advantage. In which good should China specialize? How about India? JUSTIFY! (To answer this question you must calculate the opportunity cost of each good for both countries and then find the country's comparative advantage). What is the WITH TRADE production of the countries? c) If the…
