Suppose that in the United States 4 man-hours are required to produce each unit of clothing
and each unit of food. In Canada, 1 man-hour is required for each unit of clothing and 2
man-hours are required for a unit of food.
1. Which country has an absolute advantage in each good?
2. Which country has comparative advantage in each good?
3. Assuming that each country has 40 man-hours of labor available for production, draw
the production possibilities frontiers for each country. (Put food on the vertical axis.)
What do the slopes of these frontiers indicate?
4. Draw the world production possibilities frontier (defined as the maximum amount of
goods that can be produced worldwide for a fixed amount of resources). What does its
slope indicate?
5. If consumers in both countries have identical Leontief preferences, so that goods are
perfect complements and individuals always consume clothing and food in the fixed
proportion of one-to-one, what is the trade pattern? (hint: when goods are always
consumed in fixed proportions, the relative demand will be fixed as well). Derive the
exact value of each country’s exports and imports.

6. If the labor force of the United States increases by a factor of 20, will anything happen

labor force?

Amathematical approximation called the rule of 70 tells us that the number of years that it will take something that is growing to double in size is approximately equal to the number 70 divided by its percentage rate of growth. thus, if mexico's real gdp per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years(=70/7) to double. apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem. real gdp per person in mexico in 2005 was about $11,000 per person, while it was about $44,000 per person in the u.s. if real gdp per person in mexico grows at the rate of 5 percent per year: how long will it take mexico's real gdp per person to reach the level that the united states was at in 2005? (hint: how many times would mexico's 2005 real gdp per person have to double to reach the u.s.'s 2005 real gdp per person?
