5) Suppose, the market for burgers was shown rather than the market for phones in the supply and demand graphs. For the United States to export burgers and Mexico to import burgers, what would world price need to be, in each country, relative to the domestic price?
Solution -
we know that ,
comparative advantage means compare advantage between to points
Now Find For Mexico,
here we put inputs
6/6 = 24/6
1 burger = 4 phones
Now Find For United States,
here we put inputs
= 12/12 = 24/121
1 burger = 2 phones
