Comparative Advantage o Germany: o 10 units of factor inputs (labor & capital) to produce 1 keg of beer o 2 units of factor inputs (labor & capital) to produce 1 box of pretzels o United States: o 15 units of factor inputs to produce 1 keg of beer; o 5 units of factor inputs to produce 1 box of pretzels; Which country should manufacture and export only beer? Which country should manufacture and export only pretzels?
20
Comparative Advantage Germany: 10 labor pretzels = 5 pretzels per beer * beer 2 labor US: 15 labor pretzels = 3 pretzels per beer * beer 5 labor * Opportunity Costs … price of beer in terms of pretzels, using labor as common denominator = =
21
Comparative Advantage Germany: 10 labor pretzels = 5 pretzels per beer beer 2 labor US: 15 labor pretzels = 3 pretzels per beer beer 5 labor o Germany has absolute advantage in both beer and pretzels o U.S. has comparative advantage in beer, and should manufacture and export beer to Germany o Germany has comparative advantage in pretzels, and should manufacture and export pretzels to the U.S.

Short-term F/X Management o Currency Hedges o Forward Contracts o Options o Negotiation of Ratcheted Pricing Schedule o Adjustment of Prices and Target Profits o Lower foreign prices to keep market share when home currency appreciates … lowers profit margin o Raise foreign prices to keep profit margins when home currency depreciates … less price competitive
