Question

Suppose Denmark produces only air fryers and pressure cookers. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specialized -that is, the same set of resources is equally effective at producing both pressure cookers and air fryers. The shape of Denmark's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as Denmark produces more pressure cookers and fewer air fryers, the opportunity cost of producing each additional pressure cooker

Suppose that France and Denmark both produce oil and wine. France's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 5 barrels of oil while Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of oil. 1. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that _________ ( Denmark, France) has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and __________ (France, Denmark) has a comparative advantage in the production of oil. 2. Suppose that France and Denmark consider trading wine and oil with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than _________ (1 barrel, 1/10 barrel, 1/5 barrel, 5 barrels, 10 barrels) of oil for each bottle of wine it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ________ (1 barrel, 1/10 barrel , 1/5 barrel, 5 barrel, 10 barrels) of wine for each barrel of oil it exports to France. 3. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of oil) would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade? Check all that apply. A. 12 barrels of oil per bottle of wine B. 2 barrels of oil per bottle of wine C. 6 barrels of oil per bottle of wine D. 9 barrels of oil per bottle of wine

00:01 Okay, so in this problem, we're told that denmark produces only two goods, bikes and scooters.
00:14 And we're told that the inputs are not specialized so that the resources can be used equally effective to produce either.
00:25 So that means there's no diminishing returns when we're trading off between bikes and scooters...
