Suppose that Italy and Switzerland both produce rye and wine. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 5 bushels of rye while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye.

By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that, ITALY or SWITZERLAND, has a comparitive advantage in the production of wine and, ITALY or SWITZERLAND, has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

Suppose that Italy and Switzerland consider trading wine and rye with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than.

a.1 bushel

b.1/10 bushel

c.1/5 bushel

d.5 bushels

e.10 bushels

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Switzerland and Italy to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

a.12 bushels of rye per bottle of wine

b.1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine

c.2 bushels of rye per bottle of wine

d.6 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
