Question: Suppose L = 10, L* = 20, a c = 2, a w = 4, a c * = 8, a w * = 4.

Suppose L = 10, L* = 20, ac = 2, aw = 4, ac* = 8, aw* = 4. Also assume all individuals like to consume both goods with equal amount.

A) Compute Pc (while setting Pw = 1) in autarky (closed) economy at Home.

  • 2
  • 1
  • 1/2
  • 3/2

B) Compute Quantity demanded or quantity produced in autarky (closed) economy at Home.

  • 10.6 cheese, 10/6 wine
  • 2 cheese, 3 wine
  • 3 cheese, 2 wine
  • 1 cheese, 1 wine

C) Compute GDP in autarky (closed) economy at Home.

  • 5
  • 15/6
  • 10
  • 30

D) Compute wage for cheese and wine production in autarky (closed) economy at Home.

  • Cheese: 1, Wine: 1
  • Cheese 1/4, Wine 1/4
  • Cheese 1, Wine 1/3
  • Cheese 1/3, Wine 1

E) In the open economy, which country produces which good and how much?

  • home produces 10/3 wine, foreign produces 30/9 cheese
  • home produces 10/3 wine, foreign produces 5 cheese
  • home produces 5 wine, foreign produces 30/9 cheese
  • home produces 5 cheese foreign produces 5 Wine

F) Suppose the world price ratio = 1 in the open economy (Set Pc = Pw = 1). Compute GDP and wage in Home in open economy.

  • GDP: 5, Wage: 1
  • GDP: 3, Wage: 1
  • GDP: 3, Wage: 1/2
  • GDP: 5, Wage: 1/2
