Which one of the following is NOT an assumption made in the standard 2x2x2 Heckscher-Ohlin analysis?

1. A given relative commodity price ratio, say (P_X/P_Y)1, can be associated with more than one relative factor price ratio, e.g., say with (w/r)₁ as well as with (w/r)₂.

2. The production function for a given good is the same in both countries.

3. Tastes and preferences (i.e., the community indifference curve maps) are identical in the two countries.

4. If a particular good is the relatively labor-intensive good at one set of relative factor prices, then it is also the relatively labor-intensive good at any other set of relative factor prices.

Home is endowed with 10,000 labor hours and 1000 units of capital stock, which Foreign is endowed with 2000 labor hours and 100 units of capital stock. Both countries produce computer and cloth. Computer is more capital intensive than shoes (that is, cloth is more labor intensive than computer).

5. If Home opens up to international trade, how will the relative price of computer be compared to its autarky level? Why?

6. If Foreign opens up to international trade, how will the relative price of computer be compared to its autarky level?

7. If Home moves from autarky to free trade, how do you predict the change in the capital intensity in each industry of the home economy?

8. If Foreign moves from autarky to free trade, how do you predict the change in the capital intensity in each industry of the foreign economy?

9. If Homes move from autarky to free free trade, who will gain and who will lose in the home economy based on the Stolper-Samuelson theorem? Why?

10. If Foreign move from autarky to free trade, who will gain and who will lose in the foreign economy based on the Stolper-Samuelson theorem? Why?

11. If Home’s capital stock rises, then at an unchanged relative price of goods, which industry will grow and which industry will decline in the home economy based on The Rybczynski theorem? Use the PPF diagram to indicate this theorem?

12. Free trade may result in factor prices equalization (FPE) between Home and Foreign. Explain this possibility with the aid of diagrams. Also, explain why the FPE hypothesis failed empirically.

Chuck purchased a corporate bond was purchased for $8,950. The face value of the bond is $10,000 and matures after 10 years. The bond pays a 13% interest with quarterly dividends. Determine the effective interest rate that Chuck would receive when the bond matures, if it has paid dividends as scheduled.

A 10-year, 11.00%, $5,000 bond that pays dividends quarterly can be purchased for $4,551.

This means that $4,551 is spent on the bond now. Every quarter, $137.50 is provided to the purchaser as the dividend.
After 10 years, $5,000 is given to the purchaser.

If the bond is purchased and pays as scheduled, which of the following ranges of effective rate of return will the purchaser receive?
