Consider a world with two countries, Home and Foreign, both able to produce two goods: cloth and tablet computers. The production of both goods uses capital and labor in fixed proportions, with the tablets industry using more capital per worker than the cloth industry. The units of each input needed to produce one unit output are given by: capital Labor Cloth 1 2 Tablets 2 1 Both countries have 150 units of capital available for production, but the Home country...

1. Countries A and B both can produce two goods, X and Y. If country A produces only good X, it can produce 30 units of X; if country A produces only good Y, it can produce 10 units of Y. If country B produces only good X, it can produce 40 units of X; if country B produces only good Y, it can produce 40 units of Y. Assume that both countries have homogenous resources so that the opportunity...
