Suppose Home has 300 units of labor. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. In Home a worker can produce 3 apples or 5 bananas. Now suppose there is another country, Foreign, with a labor force of 200. In Foreign aworker can produce 2 apples or 10 bananas.
a.) Construct the world relative supply curve, expressing the relative price of apples (PA/PB) in terms of the relative quantity of apples (QA/QB).
Now suppose that world relative demand takes the following form: RD: \frac{Q_A}{Q_B}=\frac{P_B}{P_A} (Hint: this is just the inverse function.)
b.) Graph the relative demand curve together with the relative supply curve. What is the equilibrium relative price of apples? Describe the pattern of trade (who exports what).
Assume Home workers are less productive in both industries. What happens (conceptually) to the gains from trade for each country compared to before?

Dahlia enterprises needs someone to supply it with 127,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. it will cost you $940,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. you estimate that in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $77,000. your fixed production costs will be $332,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $11.00 per carton. you also need an initial investment in net working capital of $82,000. if your tax rate is 30 percent and your required return is 11 percent on your investment, what bid price should you submit? (do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
