Explanation / Answer

26. Opportunity cost of producing wine :

Chile - 30-24 / 12-0 = 6/12 = 0.5 beers

Germany - 75-60 / 15-0 = 15/15 = 1 beer

As Chile has lesser opportunity cost of producing wine, chile has comparative advantage in production of wine.

Similary,

Opportunity cost of producing beer :

Chile - 60-48 / 6-0 = 12/6 = 2 wine

Germany - 75-60 / 15-0 = 15/15 = 1 wine

As Germany has lesser opportunity cost of producing beer, chile has no comparative advantage in production of beer.

Option A is correct.

27)

Opportunity cost of producing beer :

Chile - 60-48 / 6-0 = 12/6 = 2 wine

Germany - 75-60 / 15-0 = 15/15 = 1 wine

As Germany has lesser opportunity cost of producing beer, Germany has comparative advantage in production of beer.

Option A is correct.

28) Countries should export good in which it has comparative advantage. As germany has comparative advantage in beer and Chile has in wine. Thus chile should export wine and germany should export beer.

option C is correct.

29) If both countries produces only those good in which they specualize then chile will produce only wine that is 60 cases of wine and Germany will produce only beer that is 75 cases of beer.

Earlier total cases of wine = 30+24 = 54 cases. Now it is 60 hence increased by 60-54 = 6 cases of wiine

Earlier total cases of beer = 45+18 = 63. Now it is 75. Increased = 75-63 = 12 cases.

Option D is correct.

30) Earlier total cases of wine = 30+24 = 54 cases. Now it is 60 hence increased by 60-54 = 6 cases of wiine

option C is correct.

31) The term of trade should be between the opportuntity costs of two countries.

Option C is correct.
