The table below shows the number of units of labor required to produce one unit of X and Y, respectively, in two countries, A and B, each operating under Classical Ricardian conditions:
Goods | Country A | Country B
X | 0.10 | 0.25
Y | 0.20 | 0.40
a. Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of X?
b. Should country would you recommend to be the exporter of Y?
c. What is the pre-trade opportunity cost of producing one unit of X, measured in terms of Y, in country B?
d. Create a new table showing each country's output of X and Y per unit of labor input used.
e. Draw a graph showing country A's production function for good X?
