(2.) This is a computational question on the Classical model of trade. Its primary purpose is to solidify concepts, clarify absolute advantage and comparative advantage, and demonstrate the individual welfare effects of trade. The economy has two countries, home (H) and foreign (F); two goods, wheat (W) and cloth (C); and one factor of production, labour (L). Adopt the assumptions and the notation of this model that we have used in class The production functions in each country for each good are as follows: Home: Foreign: There are two households in each country, Household 1 and 2. In Country H, Household 1 has 40 units of labour and Household 2 has 80 units of labour (so L"-120). In Country F, Household 1 has 150 units of labour and Household 2 has 100 units of labour (so LF 250) Household k in each country has the following Cobb-Douglas utility function: The Marshallian demand functions associated this utility function are as follows: Pw pc
