Suppose that workers in A can produce 1 unit of S in 3 hours and 1 unit of T in 9 hours. Suppose that the relative price of S in B is 2. Graph the PPF for country A. Indicate the exact slope of the PPF. Show how the autarky equilibrium is determined.
 
  Illustrate a hypothetical international trade equilibrium, including production and consumption points, and trade volumes for a given (your assumption-be explicit) but permissible value of the international terms of trade.

Answer to Question 1

The autarky price of S in A is 1/3, so that must be the slope of its PPF. A has comparative advantage in S, so once trade begins it must completely specialize in S. The international terms of trade must lie between 1/3 and 2.

Answer to Question 2

A
