4. In the example In the U.S. Each ton of wheat costs one ton of coffee to produce Each ton of coffee costs one ton of wheat But in Brazil Each ton of wheat costs two tons of coffee Each ton of coffee costs one-half ton of wheat The U.S. has a comparative advantage in wheat because wheat only cost us one ton of coffee to produce, but costs Brazil two tons of coffee Brazil has a comparative advantage in coffee, because coffee only costs them one-half ton of wheat, but costs us one ton of wheat

6. Gains from trade I If we produce wheat it costs us only one ton of coffee But it would cost Brazil two tons of coffee U.S. is the low-cost producer of wheat We benefit if we sell wheat to Brazil at any price above one ton of coffee Brazil benefits as long as the cost is less than two tons of coffee

7. Gains from trade II Brazil is the low-cost producer of coffee It costs them one-half ton of wheat for every ton of coffee they produce It would cost us one ton of wheat to grow a ton of coffee in the U.S. We benefit from trade as long as we pay less than one ton of wheat Brazil benefits as long as we pay more than one- half ton of wheat for every ton of coffee

8. Terms of Trade Any price between 1W = 1C and 1W = 2C is possible The textbook uses 1W = 1.5C (or 1C =.75W)
