Answer to Question 1

The purpose is to show that countries that left the gold standard early and adopted counter-deflationary monetary policies, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, experienced milder declines in output during the Great Depression. Countries such as France and Switzerland that stuck to the gold standard longer had greater decline in price level and output.

Answer to Question 2

You will find Sri-Lanka to the left of Australia on the K/L axis.
Australia has a higher relative wage.
Food is the land intensive product.
The relative price PC/PF is found between the two autarkic prices.
The post trade relative wage is between the two autarkic ones on the vertical axis.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
