Nоte: Sаme infоrmаtiоn for questions 5-19, except where noted. The world is composed of two countries, Country A аnd Country B. They use labor to produce two goods, Coats and Umbrellas. All of the assumptions of the Ricardian Model hold. The following table shows the unit labor inputs to make each good in each country. One unit of labor is one hour of labor. Country A has 6000 units of labor and country B has 10000 units of labor. The two countries are engaged in free and costless trade and both countries gain with trade, except as noted. Country A Country B Coats 1 3 Umbrellas 4 24 Use the following information to answer questions 14-15 only. Assume that country B has comparative advantage in Coats only and absolute advantage in Umbrellas only. Also suppose that the countries fully specialize in the production of one good, and that the world price of umbrellas is PU=120. (Note: Having separate information is to your advantage, as it decouples the answer here from other answers that you may have gotten wrong. However, don’t use this information to answer any other questions, as the information here is not necessarily correct for other questions!) Enter the wage in Country B, or enter 0 if there is not enough information to answer the question.

Country A Country B Coats 1 3 Umbrellas 4 24 Use this additional information to answer this question only: trade between the two countries momentarily stops, and the countries go momentarily back to autarky. (Note: Having separate information is to your advantage, as it decouples the answer here from other answers that you may have gotten wrong. However, don’t use this information to answer any other questions, as the information here is not necessarily correct for other questions!) Then, the price ratio of umbrellas in terms of coats (that is PU / PC) in the country B autarky is:
