b. A country can only gain from trade if it can produce a good at a lower absolute cost than its trading partner.
c. If there are constant marginal and average costs of production, then it is in a country’s best interest to specialize completely in the production of some goods but to import others.
d. Assuming that labor is the only input, if the opportunity cost of producing a yard of cloth is 3 bushels of wheat per yard, then wheat must require 3 times as much labor per unit produced as cloth.
