Solution
(a) Spain has comparative advantage in wine (Since Spain can produce wine at a lower opportunity cost than Germany can: 5 < 8) and Germany has comparative advantage in rye.
(b) Trade is beneficial as long as terms of trade lies in between the opportunity cost in both countries. So,
Spain will gain if it gains more than 5 pounds of rye per bottle of wine. Germany can gain if if gets more than 0.125 bottles of wine (= 1/8).
(c) Trade is beneficial when 5 pounds of rye < terms of trade per bottle of wine < 8 pounds of rye. Therefore, acceptable terms of trade is:
- 7 pounds of rye per bottle of wine
