Question

Hubert's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is bushels of corn, whereas Kate's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is bushels of corn. Because Hubert has a opportunity cost of producing rye than Kate, has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

          Hubert's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is
bushels of corn, whereas Kate's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is
bushels of corn.
Because Hubert has a    opportunity cost of producing rye than Kate,    has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and    has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

suppose-that-spain-and-denmark-both-produce-rye-and-wine-spains-opportunity-cost-of-producing-a-bottle-of-wine-is-5-bushels-of-rye-while-denmarks-opportunity-cost-of-producing-a-bottle-of-wi-26212

Suppose that Spain and Denmark both produce rye and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 5 bushels of rye, while Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that Spain has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of rye. Suppose that Spain and Denmark consider trading wine and rye with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 5 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 10 bottles of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to Spain. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Denmark and Spain to gain from trade? Check all that apply. a. bushel of rye per bottle of wine b. 8 bushels of rye per bottle of wine c. 9 bushels of rye per bottle of wine d. 3 bushels of rye per bottle of wine

Jake's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of green beans is ______ pound(s) of corn. Jane's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of green beans is ______ pound(s) of corn. Use the following table to answer the question below. Jake's Production Possibilities Schedule: Pounds of Green Beans: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40; Pounds of Corn: 160, 120, 80, 40, 0. Jane's Production Possibilities Schedule: Pounds of Green Beans: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80; Pounds of Corn: 80, 60, 40, 20, 0. Multiple Choice: 4,1; 2,1; 1,2; 1/4,1

A farmer has the ability to grow either corn or cotton or some combination of the two. Given no other information, it follows that the farmer's opportunity cost of a bushel of corn multiplied by his opportunity cost of a bushel of is equal to 0. is between 0 and 1. is equal to 1. is greater than 1.

00:02 Hello, let's fill these blanks.
00:06 So let's start with the first one, comparing the opportunity cost of producing a wine in two countries.
00:15 We can tell that which country has a comparative advantage in the production of wine.
00:21 So we know that if the country has a lower opportunity cost comparing with the other one, this country will have comparative advantage in production of wine.
00:33 And as we can see, spain has lower opportunity cost of producing one bottle of wine.
00:41 So our first answer is spain.
00:46 And this means the other country, denmark, has lower opportunity cost of producing rye.
00:55 It's 1 over 10, comparing with 1 over 5 for spain.
00:58 So denmark is the answer for the second question.
01:05 Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
01:11 Okay, the next spain can gain from trade as long as it receives more than, actually more than five bushels of rye.
01:28 Because the opportunity cost of spain is five so they can produce five bushels of rye itself spain can do it itself without any trade if they can get more than five it will be reasonable it will be profitable for spain to five bushels of rye what about denmark denmark can gain from the trade as long as it receives more than how many bottles of wine per one bushel? opportunity cost of producing one bushel is 1 over 10.
02:09 So if it receives more than 1 tenth bottles of wine for each bushel then it will be reasonable, it will be beneficial for denmark...
