When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.
The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Maldonia and Sylvania. Both countries produce potatoes and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 12 million pounds of potatoes and 6 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
Maldonia has a comparative advantage in the production of _______ , while Sylvania has a comparative advantage in the production of _______. Suppose that Maldonia and Sylvania specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of _______ million pounds of tea and _______ million pounds of potatoes.
Suppose that Maldonia and Sylvania agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 4 million pounds of potatoes for 4 million pounds of tea. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Maldonia and Sylvania.
The following graph shows the same PPF for Maldonia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Maldonia's consumption after trade.
Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.
As you did for Maldonia, place a black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate Sylvania's consumption after trade.
True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Maldonia and Sylvania would have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles. (Hint: Base this question on the answers you previously entered on this page.)
True
False
Mandonia has a comparative advantage of tea, while Sylvania has a comparative advantage in the production of production of potato. Suppose that Maldona and Sylvania specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of36 million pounds of tea and 40 million pounds of potatoes.
