Hi ma'am, the answer would be ..China has comparative advantage of producing shoes. China can produce 1 shoe at the cost of 1 ibuprofen. Whereas, USA can produce 1 shoe at the cost of 2 ibuprofen.
can u help me with this question please, The table shows the costs of producing a unit of food and a unit of clothing in countries X and Y, expressed in the currency of each country. country food clothing X $2 $4 Y £1 £1 The exchange rate is fixed at £1 = $3. What level of transport cost per unit of each commodity would exactly eliminate the benefits of trade? A £0.33 B £0.50 C £1.00 D £1.50
In country X, the opportunity cost of one unit of food is 1/2 unit of clothing. In country Y, the opportunity cost of one unit of food is one unit of clothing. According to the video, which country has a comparative advantage in the production of food?
I want you to think. Please calculate the opportunity cost of shoes for both countries. Which country has a lower opportunity cost in the production of shoes? Then that country has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes.
@@IrisFranz Let say the comparative advantage in the production of shoes is China because the opportunity cost of shoes is lower than US. US=10:5=2 whereas China=2:2=1.
I have a question, when we divide and we get for example 0.5 would the opportunity cost be 2/4? Also do we have to find the lowest common factor or no?

@@IrisFranz hi, you said that if you want to find A, you trick B as the currency . And if I want to find B, I trick A as currency. it is correct.
@@dinasin2745 if you want to find the opportunity cost of A, yes treat B as currency.

US=10:5=2 whereas China=2:2=1.
it was the best video i have ever watched about absolute and comparative advantage 🫶
Thank you🙏 simple and clear
hey .. Now i get it.... Are you still making videos on principles of economics?
Absolutely!
I have a question, when we divide and we get for example 0.5 would the opportunity cost be 2/4? Also do we have to find the lowest common factor or no?
The opportunity cost of a pair of shoes in the U.S. is 10/5 which is equal to 2 bottles of ibuprofen.
@@IrisFranz have you made a video on exchange rates and how to find it for macroeconomics?
