Hi k9queen!! 6) Assume that in one hour workers in Country Two cna produce 3 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 1 television. For Country Two the cost of producing one television is...? In the same time workers can produce 3 bushels of wheat or 1 television, then for each television produced we left to produce 3 bushels. Then the cost of producing one television is three units of wheat. --------------------------------------------------- 7) and 8) Assume that in one hour workers in Country One can produce 12 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 6 televisions. Assume that in one hour workers in Country Two can produce 3 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 1 television. Country One has a comparative advantage producing...? Comparative Advantage: Producing a product or service at a lower opportunity cost than someone else. Country one: Cost of produce 1 television: 2 units of wheat (= 12/6). Cost of produce 1 unit of wheat: 1/2 a television. Country two: Cost of produce 1 television: 3 units of wheat. Cost of produce 1 unit of wheat: 1/3 a television. Comparing we have that country one has a lower opportunitty cost than country two only with televisions. So the correct answer of question 7) is b). Country two has a comparative advantage in producing wheat, so the correct answer of question 8) is c). ----------------------------------------------- 9)Assume that in one hour workers in Country One can produce 12 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 6 televisions. Assume Country One decides that it wants to consume 30 more televisions. If Country One decides to produce the televisions themselves then the cost of the 30 televisions is equal to...? The cost of produce 1 television is 2 units of wheat (= 12/6); then producing 30 televisions will cost 2 x 30 units of wheat = 60 units of wheat. The correct answer is c). ------------------------------------------------- 10)Assume that in one hour workers in Country One can produce 12 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 6 televisions. Assume that in one hour workers in Country Two can produce 3 bushels of wheat or in one hour workers can produce 1 television. If Country One takes 60 units of wheat and offers to trade the wheat to Country Two, what is the most televisions that Country Two will offer in exchange for the 60 units of wheat? Country two will offer at the very most the cost of produce the 60 units of wheat itself. Because the cost of produce 3 units of wheat is 1 television, then the cost of produce 60 units of wheat is: 60/3 x 1 televisions = 20 televisions. The correct answer is b). ------------------------------------------- For more reference visit the following page: "Why do countries trade?" http://www.cr1.dircon.co.uk/TB/4/trade1.htm I hope this helps you.
