Consider a country facing a constant opportunity cost PPF. This country makes two goods, S and T. The maximum amount of S that this country could produce is 117, and the maximum amount of T that this country could produce is 69. The relative price of T (in terms of S) is ___ S given up.
Homework Answers
Relative amount of T in terms of S = 117/69
The relative price of T (in term of S) is 69/117 = 0.59

Consider a two countries, Portugal and England, that produce two goods, wine and cheese, with only one factor of production, Labor. In England, one unit of labor can produce 2 units of wine or 1 unit of cheese. In Portugal, one unit of labor can produce 3 units of wine or 1/2 of cheese. There are 100 units of labor in Portugal, and 100 in England. Countries share the same tastes, and there is perfect competition. 1) Fill in the...
