问题如下:
Suppose three countries produce rulers and pencils with output per worker per day in each country as follows:
Which country has the greatest comparative advantage in the production of rulers?
选项:
A. Mexico.
B. Brazil.
C. China
解释:
A is correct.
Mexico has the lowest opportunity cost to produce an extra ruler. The opportunity cost is 2 pencils per ruler in Mexico, 3 pencils per ruler in Brazil, and 4 pencils per ruler in China.
考点:比较优势
解析:墨西哥生产1把尺子的价格是2个铅笔,巴西生产1把尺子的价格是3个铅笔,中国生产1把尺子的价格是4个铅笔,所以墨西哥具有最大的比较优势。
中国的机会成本最高,一把尺子要放弃四只铅笔,而墨西哥只放弃了两只铅笔的机会成本
