Homework Answers
Ans) Trade is done on basis of comparative advantage. Comparative advantage is when one party can produce goods with lower opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost = sacrife ÷ gain
For Issac÷
Opportunity cost of Apple = Peaches sacrificed ÷ apples gained = 30÷20 = 1.5 peaches
Opportunity cost of peaches = apples sacrificed ÷ peaches gained = 20÷30 = 0.67 apples.
For Jocelyn÷
Opportunity cost of Apple = peaches sacrificed ÷ apples gained = 15÷15 = 1 peaches
Opportunity cost of peaches = apple sacrificed ÷ peaches gained = 15÷15 = 1 apple.
Now, since Jocelyn has less opportunity cost of Apples, he has comparative advantage in Apple.
Since, Issac has less opportunity cost of peaches, he has comparative advantage in peaches.
Therefore, both can benefit from trade if they produce, what they are best at. So, Issac should produce peaches and Jocelyn should produce apples.
