The table below shows the production of beef (in pounds) and autos of one worker in Argentina and in Mexico: One worker can produce Beef (in pounds) Autos Argentina 100 10 Mexico 40 30   Suppose that before trade (or without trade) each country has 50 workers and they each allocate 25 workers for the production of beef and 25 workers for the production of autos. Find the maximum production and consumption of both goods for each country. If the countries decide to engage in trade (with trade), they will specialize in the production of the good in which they have comparative advantage. In which good should Argentina specialize? How about Mexico? Justify! (To answer this question you must calculate the opportunity cost of each good for both countries and then find the country’s comparative advantage). What is the with trade production of the countries? If the countries decide to engage in trade the Terms-of-Trade will be set at 1,500 pounds of beef for 300 autos. With this information complete the tables below (show your work!): Argentina’s gains from trade ARG Produce Consume Gains from Trade Beef Autos   Mexico’s gains from trade MEX Produce Consume Gains from Trade Beef Autos Note: this is a file upload question. Write down your solution in a piece of paper, take a picture and upload your file. Don’t forget to show your work! Do not write only the final answer (number), show how you got that number.

Based on this information, answer the following: Calculate the share of total income received by each quintile of this income distribution. Show your work! Do the top and bottom quintiles in this distribution have a greater or larger share of total income than the top and bottom quintiles of the U.S. income distribution for 2011? Compared to the U.S. does this city have higher or lower income inequality? (In 2011, the bottom quintile of the income distribution received 3.2% of income and the top quintile, 51.14%) Note: This is a file upload question.
