Suppose that
there are 10 million workers in Canada and that each of these workers can
produce either 2 cars or 30 bushels of wheat in a year.
a) What is
the opportunity cost of producing a car in Canada? What is the opportunity cost
of producing a bushel of wheat in Canada? Explain the relationship between the
opportunity costs of the two goods.
b) Draw
CanadaΓ’ΒΒs production possibilities frontier. If Canada chooses to consume 10
million cars, how much wheat can it consume without trade? Label this point on
the production possibilities frontier.
c) Now
suppose that the United States offers to buy 10 million cars from Canada in
exchange for 20 bushels of wheat per car. If Canada continues to consume 10
million cars, how much wheat does this deal allow Canada to consume? Label this
point on your diagram. Should Canada accept the deal?
