Homework Answers
Solution 1
Two countries can gain from trade when both have comparative advantage and have lower opportunity costs in producing certain variety if goods. Even in cases where countries have higher quality of production with lower cost marginally than the other. For example China and Russia are known to be defence missile producers however Russia trades for Chinese defence equipment while China trades for full fledged defence aircrafts with highest quality and make.
Solution 2
New trade theories are more based on increasing returns to scale and monopolistic competition as typical market structure. Secondly its assumed that all firms are symmetrical and have nearly same production coefficient.
Whereas Krugman Trade Theory is focussed towards Ricardian Framework of Comparative Advantage and Absolute Advantage. These trade theories focussed on internal economies of scale and assuked markets are not perfectly competitive.

Suppose there are two nations (A and B) which have the same technology, identical tastes but differing factor endowments, two commodities (X and Y) produced under increasing costs conditions, and no barriers to trade. Nation A is labour-abundant and Nation B is capital abundant. X is the labour-inten?ive good and Y is the capital-intensive good. Prove geometrically that mutually advantageous trade between the two nations is possible. Your answer should show the autarky and free-trade points of production and consumption...

Visualizing the factor-endowment theory
Consider the two hypothetical nations of Greenburg and Ferville.
Suppose they both produce only two goods, robot vacuum cleaners and
pogo sticks. Each country faces a trade-off when producing the two
goods. The following graph displays the respective production
possibilities frontiers (PPF) for Greenburg and Ferville.

Problem 1
A country (”Home”) is populated with 300 workers who produce
either food (F) and/or clothing (C). Each food worker produces 6
units of food and each clothing worker produces 3 units of
clothing. The preferences of the consumers over food and clothing
are represented by the utility function: u(DF ,
DC) = (DF ) 2/3 (DC)

rate of substitution, MRSDF ,DC , to the relative price,

Case Study 2 Motivation: Production Slowdown at Bendum Metal Fab, Inc. Scenario: When the new supervisor improves production dramatically at the expense of employee relations, the plant must face rumblings of rebellion. The incident calls for considering grievances, using authority, gaining acceptance of change, generating motivation, obtaining commitment, and linking output with job satisfaction. Incident: May B. Wright had been made supervisor of a production line at Bendum Metal Fabrication, Inc.(BMF). The plant manager, Sommer Flimsay, made her responsible for...
