Answer to Question 1

There would be no reason for country X to agree to such terms of trade. If country X can already produce one personal computer at an opportunity cost of 1000 t-shirts why would it agree with country Y to purchase a computer for 10 higher? The answer is it would not.

Answer to Question 2

The additional cost of the daily advertising must be no more than 35,000 for the year to make advertising economically rational.
