Suppose that Greece and Switzerland both produce oil and stained glass. Greece's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 5 barrels of oil while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 10 barrels of oil.

By comparing the opportunity cost of producing stained glass in the two countries, you can tell that (Switzerland/Greece) has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass and ((Switzerland/Greece) has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.

Suppose that Greece and Switzerland consider trading stained glass and oil with each other. Greece can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than (1 , 1/10 , 1/5 , 5 , 10) barrels of oil for each pane of stained glass it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than (1 , 1/10 , 1/5 , 5 , 10) pane of stained glass for each barrel of oil it exports to Greece.

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of stained glass in terms of oil) would allow both Switzerland and Greece to gain from trade?

a) 1 barrel of oil per pane of stained glass
b) 2 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass
c) 9 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass
d) 6 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass

The gilbert instrument corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. the steamer has 6 years of remaining life. if kept,the steamer will have depreciaiton expenses of $650 for five years and $325 for the sixthyear. its current book value is $3,575, and it can be sold on an internet auction site for$4,150 at this time. if the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the endof its useful life. gilbert is considering purchasing the side steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, whichcosts $12,000 and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of$1,500. this steamer falls into the macrs 5-year class, so the applicable depreciationrates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. the new steamer is fasterand allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the newmachine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,900 per year.to support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by$2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. gilbert's marginalfederal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its wacc is 15%.a. should it replace the old steamer? b. npv of replace = $2,083.51
