Suppose that Portugal and Germany both produce fish and cheese. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 pounds of fish while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 11 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. has a comparative advantage in the Suppose that Portugal and Germany consider trading cheese and fish with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of fish for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it of cheese for each pound of fish it exports to Portugal. receives more than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of fish) would allow both Germany and Portugal to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 13 pounds of fish per pound of cheese 6 pounds of fish per pound of cheese O2 pounds of fish per pound of cheese 4 pounds of fish per pound of cheese

Consider the following information: Country A's opportunity cost of producing vegetables is lower than Country B's. Country B's opportunity cost of producing electronics is lower than Country A's. Country A is absolutely better at producing both goods. If the two countries decide to specialize and trade then: O Each country will be able to produce and consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier. O Each country will be able to consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier. O Each country will be able to produce at a point outside their production possibilities frontier. O Each country's production possibilities frontier will shift outward. « Previous Next ASUS 17 6 8
