Answer:

export products with a greater labor-to-land ratio than those imported from Honduras

Explanation:

According to the factor proportions theory (also known as Heckscher-Ohlin model), nations tend to export goods that utilize their plentiful production factors. For instance, nations such as Japan, which have a high availability of labor and capital but limited land, typically manufacture and export industrial items that are labor- and capital-intensive. In contrast, countries like Argentina with ample labor and land resources tend to export agricultural goods.

Specifically, when comparing El Salvador to Honduras, El Salvador possesses a surplus of labor, meaning its exported products to Honduras will exhibit a greater labor-to-land ratio, attributed to the labor abundance.

Response:

Year  Nominal wage  Real wage  Price level  Inflation rate

1                  $7                  $5                140             None

2                 $9                  $6                150               7.14 %

3                 $12                 $7.5             160              6.67 %

Explanation:

Note: A visual representation of the table is also provided.

The price level for Year 1 is calculated as (Nominal wage in year 1/Real wage in year 1) multiplied by 100.

Thus, Price level in Year 1 = ($7.00 / $5.00) * 100

Resulting in Price level in Year 1 = 1.4 times 100

Which gives Price level in Year 1 = 140

To find Real wage in Year 2: (Nominal wage in year 2 / Price level in year 2) multiplied by 100.

Which gives Real wage in Year 2 = ($9.00 / 150.00) * 100

Thus, Real wage in Year 2 = $6

To calculate Nominal wage in Year 3: (Real wage in Year 3 * Price level in Year 3) divided by 100.

As a result, Nominal wage in Year 3 = $1,200 / 100

Leading to Nominal wage in Year 3 = $12

To determine Inflation rate in Year 2: (Price level in Year 2 - Price level in Year 1) divided by Price level in Year 1.

Therefore, Inflation rate in Year 2 = 10 / 140

Giving Inflation rate in Year 2 = 0.0714, or 7.14 %

For Inflation rate in Year 3: (Price level in Year 3 - Price level in Year 2) divided by Price level in Year 2.
