These questions help you review the Introduction and the
Ricardian model. 34 points (2 points each, except 5 and 12, which
are 4 points each). For each statement, determine whether it’s T/F,
and then explain why.
Questions 5-15 are based on the following Ricardian model. Labor Force Marginal Product of Labor Shirts Apples MPLS = 2 MPLA = 5 MPLS* = 1 MPLA* = 2 Home Foreign L=100 L* = 240 5. Draw the PPF for the Home country. Please...
Home Fareign Cheese Wine Labor Force 100 200 Several questions require drawing graphs. In these cases you should graph carefully, either using graph paper à computer, or if you graph by hand, a ruler to show exact amaunts an the vertical and horizantal axes à. Whith country has an absolute advantage in producing cheese? Which country has an absolute advantage in producing wine? b. Whith country has a comparative advantage in producing cheese? Which country has a comparative advantage in...

Suppose that the relative price of wine after trade is equal to one. Draw the consumption possibilities frontier for both the home country and the foreign country. Again show numerical values for the vertical and horizontal intercepts....

Thank you so much.
Heckscher-Ohlin Model 2. There are two countries, Home and Foreign. There are two goods: beer (6) and corn (C), which are produced in both countries using capital (K) and labor (L). In both countries, it takes 2 units of labor and 1 unit of capital to make beer (a Lb = 2, akb = 1); and it takes 5 units of labor and 5 units of capital to make corn (ale = 5, ako = 5)....
Suppose Home has 300 units of labor. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. In Home a worker can produce 3 apples or 5 bananas. a. Graph Home's PPF, with apples in the horizontal axis. b. What is the opportunity cost of apples? c. In the absence of trade – when Home is isolated ‐ what would the relative price be? d. Now suppose there is another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 200. In Foreign a worker...
We have the following demand and supply curves for clothing for the home and foreign economies. Home Foreign Supply QC = -20 + 10P QC* = -20 + 20P* Demand DC = 100 - 10 P DC* = 100 - 20P* a. Compute the autarky price and quantities for both countries. b. Compute the world price and quantity traded under free trade. Also compute the quantities supplied and demanded for the home and foreign country individually. c. Draw two graphs,...

apples and bananas. In Home a worker can produce 3 apples or 5
bananas.
a. Graph Home's PPF, with apples in the horizontal axis
. b. What is the opportunity cost of apples?
c. In the absence of trade – when Home is isolated ‐ what would
the relative price be?
d. Now suppose there is another country, Foreign, with a labor
force of 200. In Foreign a...
Answer questions 1 and 10 based on a global economy of two Ricardian economies (Home, Foreign) whose industry technologies are given in the following table Product Home Foreign aLX = 0.5 0.5 Table 1: Labor hours per unit of outputs Each of these two economies is endowed with 500 labor hours (i.e. L- L*-500) 8. Again, suppose that both Home and Foreign move from autarky to a free-trade regime and that the trade price of product X is 0.4Y. If...
P.S: (3)is the world relative price =3
There are two countries, Home and Foreign. The two countries can produce two goods, socks (S) and hats (H) using only labour. The labour stock in Home is L = 600 and the labour stock in Foreign is L* = 300. The unit labour requirements for socks and hats are as = 2 and au = 4 for Home and as = 1 and ay = 5 for Foreign. - 1. Assume that...
