Suppose that France and Germany both produce wine and schnitzel. The table below shows combinations of the goods that each country can produce in a day. France Germany Wine (Bottles) Schnitzel (Pounds) Wine (Bottles) Schnitzel (Pounds) 8 15 1 6. 1 12 2 4 2 3 2 4 4 5 Who has the comparative advantage in producing wine and who has the comparative advantage in producing schnitzel? O A. Neither has a comparative advantage producing wine or schnitzel. B. Germany has a comparative advantage producing wine and schnitzel. C. France has a comparative advantage producing wine and schnitzel. D. France has a comparative advantage producing schnitzel and Germany has a comparative advantage producing wine. E. France has a comparative advantage producing wine and Germany has a comparative advantage producing schnitzel. Suppose that France is currently producing 1 bottle of wine and 6 pounds of schnitzel and Germany is currently producing 3 bottles of wine and 6 pounds of schnitzel. Then, assume instead that France and Germany specialize by producing only the good for which they have a comparative advantage and then trade 3 bottles of wine for 7 pounds of schnitzel. After specialization and trade, France gains by consuming the same amount of wine and additional pound(s) of schnitzel (enter a numeric response using an integer) and Germany gains by consuming the same amount of wine and additional pound(s) of schnitzel.
