Working group 4 03-10-2019

Question 1 (chapter 3; problem 1, 2 and 3)

Answer problem 1
1200/3 = 400 apples; 1200/2 = 600 bananas
½ banana in 1 labor hour
We need 3 hours to produce 1 apple, if you don’t produce this apple anymore, you have 3 hours of labor, this is
equal to 1.5 bananas.
Giving up an apple, you produce 1.5 banana.
a La 3
= =1.5 (apples in terms of bananas)
a Lb 2
a Lb 2
= (bananas in terms of apples)
a La 3
P a Wx a La a La 3
= = = =1.5
P b Wx a Lb a Lb 2
The wage we can earn in the banana sector is higher than the wage we can earn in the apple sector. Everyone
will work in the banana sector to earn the higher wages. In the end, the wages will equalize again.

Als je alleen maar uitgaat van de lonen, dan zijn de kosten voor de productie dus gelijk aan de lonen die betaald
moeten worden.




It is a straight line, because there are constant opportunity costs.

, Answer problem 2




 there are again constant opportunity costs  straight line
α LB
De helling van deze grafiek is gelijk aan de opportunity costs. Deze helling is gelijk aan .

¿ zijn de opbrengsten lager dan de kosten, dus onder dit punt is er niets. Vanaf dat punt
a Lb 2
(relatieve kosten zijn gelijk aan de relatieve opbrengsten) start je met een horizontale zijn tot 400/800 (full
specialization) op de horizontale as. Hiervoor kunnen alle samenstellingen van appels en bananen
geproduceerd worden, tot dat de appel productie 400 wordt. Op deze lijn produceert alleen Home. Bananen en
appels zijn indifferent, daarom is het een horizontale lijn. 400 is het maximale aantal appels dat geproduceerd
kan worden door Home.

(=5) is Foreign indifferent in het produceren van bananen en appels. Elke prijs boven de relatieve prijs van
home zal home alleen maar appels produceren en exporteren. Foreign zal alleen maar bananen produceren.

Foreign zal geen appel produceren onder (=5), omdat het goedkoper is om de exporteren dan zelf te

produceren.
Relatieve kosten en relatieve opbrengsten zijn gelijk op de bovenste horizontale lijn. Foreign zal indifferent zijn
in wat zij produceren, ze kunnen alles produceren.
