3.1 There are two countries, the US and Canada. The two
countries produce tomatoes and corn. A US worker can produce 200
pounds of tomatoes or 50 bushels of corn per year. The US has 300
workers. Canadian workers can produce 160 pounds of tomatoes or 20
bushel of corn per year. Canada has 30 workers.
a. Which country has an absolute advantage in produce tomatoes? In
corn?
b. Which country has a comparative advantage in produce tomatoes?
In corn?
c. Draw the US’s production possibilities curve (placing corn on
the x-axis). What is the relative price of corn in the US?
d. Draw Canada’s production possibilities curve (placing corn on
the x-axis). What is the relative price of corn in Canada?
e. Assuming a relative price PC/PT = 6 lbs of tomatoes per bushel
of corn, draw the trade line for the US and show how the US can
gain from trade. Use the graph in part c.
