Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
Italy and Sweden both produce jeans and stained glass.
Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass
= 4 pairs of jeans
Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass
= 10 pairs of jeans
Since Italy has a lower opportunity cost of producing glass, so we can say that it has a comparative advantage in the production of glass.
Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pair of jeans
=
= 0.25
Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pair of jeans
=
= 0.1
Sweden has a lower opportunity cost in the production of jeans, so it has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.
So, Italy will produce and export glass and Sweden will produce and export jeans.
Both the countries will gain from trade if the trade price lies between their opportunity cost.
So the trade price will be 8 pairs of jeans per pane of stained glass.
