Consider two neighboring island countries called euphoria and contente. they each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. the following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. country rye jeans(bushels per hour of labor) (pairs per hour of labor)euphoria 5 20contente 8 16initially, suppose contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce rye and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans while euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce rye and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. consequently, euphoria produces 15 million bushels of rye and 20 million pairs of jeans, and contente produces 8 million bushels of rye and 48 million pairs of jeans. assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of rye and jeans it produces. euphoria's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is ( 1/2 pair, 1/4 pair, 2 pair, 4 pair) of jeans, and contente's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is ( 1/2 pair, 1/4 pair, 2 pair, 4 pair) of jeans. therefore,( contente, euphoria) has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and ( euphoria, contente) has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. in this case, the country that produces rye will produce( what number? ) million bushels per month, and the country that produces jeans will produce ( what number? ) million pairs per month. in the following table, enter each country's production decision on the third row of the table (marked "production").suppose the country that produces rye trades 18 million bushels of rye to the other country in exchange for 54 million pairs of jeans. in the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked "trade action," and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "consumption."when the two countries did not specialize, the total production of rye was 23 million bushels per month, and the total production of jeans was 68 million pairs per month. because of specialization, the total production of rye has increased by ( what number? ) million bushels per month, and the total production of jeans has increased by ( what number? ) million pairs per month. because the two countries produce more rye and more jeans under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. calculate the gains from trade�that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. in the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "increase in consumption").
