Ricаrdiаn Mоdel: Use the infоrmаtiоn in the table below to answer the following questions.(15 points; 10 min.). (a) Does either country have an absolute advantage in the production of wheat or beef? Explain. (b) What is the opportunity cost of beef in terms of wheat in each country (i.e., how much wheat must each give up to produce 1 unit of beef)? (You may look to your scrap paper to briefly do the algebra for this question. Please show your work to the camera) (c) Analyze comparative advantage between the U.S. and Argentina, and illustrate potential gains from trade in two graphs (one PPF for each country) if 1 beef will trade for 2 wheat. Be sure to label axes. Show your work to the camera when done! And write the updated amounts of both wheat and beef available to each country in your answer below. (For example, "After opening to trade, the US now has access to # Beef and # Wheat; and Argentina has access to # Beef and # Wheat"). (Again, you may briefly look to your paper to complete this part of the question. Please show your work to the camera).
