Total sales revenue in the manufacturing sector with 20% increase in price of the manufacturing = 120/100*150= $180
Total payments to labor with 10% increase in the wage(W) = 110/100*100= $110
Therefore, total payment to capital in manufacturing = $180-$110= $90
Also in agriculture, total sales revenue = $150 (Constant)
Payment to labor after 10% rise in wage = 110/100*50 = $55
Therefore, payment to land = $150-$55= $95
Therefore, percentage decrease in the renal of the land = (100-95) = 5%
Also percentage increase in the rental on capital = (90-50)/50*100 = 80%

2. Specifie-factors model Suppose that land is specific to com, capital is specific to automobiles, labor is mobile between sectors, and payments are as follows: Automobiles: Sales revenue = 200; Payments to labor = 100; Payments to capital = 100 Corn: Sales revenue = 200; Payments to labor = 40; Payments to land - 160 Suppose price of corn increases by 20%, the price of automobiles increases by 5%, and the wage increases by 10%. a. The relative price of...
Consider a specific factors model in which capital is specific to manufacturing and land is specific to agriculture. If a country has a comparative advantage in manufacturing output, then when it opens to trade owners of land will be ---- off because the marginal product of land will ----. A better; rise B better; fall C worse; rise D worse; fall
In the two-sector (manufacturing and agriculture) specific-factors model, an increase in the price of the manufactured good will cause: A) a decrease in nominal wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. B) an increase in real wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. C) an increase in both nominal and real wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. D) an increase in nominal wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Which statement below is correct? A)...

In the specific factors model, assume that the price of agricultural (land-using, i.e., good 2) good decreases exogenously while the price of manufactured (capital-using, i.e., good 1) good is unchanged. Arrange the following terms in order of their magnitude: - change in rental rate of land - change in rental rate of capital - change in price of good 1 - change in price of good 2 - change in wage
