US: 1 broom = 9 microchips
Broom - x axis, microchip - y axis
Mexico: 1 microchip = 9 brooms
Broom - x axis, microchip - y axis
Through trade, both the countries can consume brooms and microchip as specialisation will increase the production. US will import brooms and Mexico will import microchips and export the other item based on their competitive advantage.
US will produce 90 microchips
Mexico will produce 90 brooms
Both countries will consume 45 brooms and 45 micrchips
Trade will be US importing 45 brooms and exporting 45 microchips and the opposite for Mexico.
Add Answer to:
1. Each country has 10 workers who can produce either microchips or brooms. A worker in...

In the small country of Fictionia, there are 30 workers. Each worker can produce 4 shirts in one day, or bake 1 loaf of bread. These are the only two goods the can be produced. Part A) Draw the production possibility frontier (PPF) for Fictionia, showing the combinations of shirts (S) and bread (B) that can be produced in a day. Put shirts on the vertical axis. Label both intercepts, and label the curve as “PPF”. Part B) What is...
