...capability of a individual or country to produce a good or service with less assets than another country or individual. Comparative advantage is the capacity of an individual or country to manufacture a particular product for a lower opportunity rate than another individual or country. Comparative advantage in the production of cheese can result in a much more constructive balance when it comes to trade for Rodamia. While international trade offers many advantages, there can be several disadvantages as well. The process known as dumping is a limitation of International Trade this occurs when a country elects to sell exported products at a lower cost than it does to its local residents. Romadia was left with two alternatives, whether to impose tariffs, or set a quota on its import products. These alternatives will generate an unfavorable effect since it will cause a shortage and an increase in the cost of the products. The increase in price will lower the demand for the products. As a result, these effects will hinder the company’s growth. Influencing Foreign Exchange Rates Foreign Trade is one of the things that have a strong hold on the way the economy works globally. The one thing that ties the entire world together is the exchange rate by which our currencies are traded. There are many different things that influence the way the exchange rate is modeled. The factors that make the exchange rate what it is are: domestic economic and political conditions, Speculation over future...

...International Trade Simulation xxxxxx XECO/212 x/xx/xxxx xxxxx With international trade simulation this is showing how the international trade is able to function within all countries. With the simulation it provides a short overview of how to implement the trade restrictions within all tariffs. The most important thing is that the simulation is able to provide fundamentals about how you need to negotiate trade agreements. In the Rodamia simulation it is great that with this you’re able to see how all international trades are coordinated. In the Rodamia representative office is the place where all the major business decisions are decided and were all investment policies are born. Inside of the simulation the main guy is that Michael who is the president of Rodamia. Michael presents the image that he is a good businessman and is capable of handling international trade negotiations with other countries. Rodamis is one countries that has a GDP of 4% from there agriculture, and 30% from there poultry and other types of services. The rest of the 66% comes from many different types of services. There is an advantage of international trade. This advantage is that of gaining the cost of principles. Efficiency with comparative advantages is able to allow other countries to be efficient with inputs that they put and also there outputs will be better than if it were done alone. Many of the trade restrictions can be beneficial to countries some of these could be that of quotas, embargos...

...International Trade Simulation Student January 22, 20xx XECO/212 This is a report for the President of Rodamia to discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of international trade between Rodamia and the surrounding countries around Rodamia. This report is also going to discuss the absolute and comparative advantage. Based on the information from this report, there is going to be a possible recommendation to the President of Rodamia whether or not to trade internationally. There are times international trade becomes very important and vital to a countries economy because most economies operate on the basic economic principal of supply and demand. It is not possible for every country’s domestic supplier to meet the domestic demands of that country and when this happens, that country can opt for international trade. Many countries chose international trade because their domestic suppliers are not able to produce the goods that can be brought in from other countries. However international trade has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of international trade is that Rodamia could import goods that are made more efficiently by other countries. Our domestic suppliers may not have the equipment or man power to make certain goods and trading internationally allows Rodamia to give its consumers more options at lower prices. By allowing other countries to trade with Rodamia, this allows domestic suppliers to create goods and have excess stock...

...International Trade Simulation and Report Team B: Kimberly Castillo, Tanya Bell, Elijah B. Gowdy, Derrick Brown ECO/212 June 6, 2012 Instructor, John Holmberg One Advantage and One Limitation of International Trade Advantage and limitation of International Trade, Countries have different quantities, qualities, and cost for resources such as land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship (University of Phoenix, 2009). International trade is the import and export of these resources between countries. International trade allows countries to distribute their resources more efficiently. Importing and exporting of resources is vital to the economy. A gain from International trading is a price increase or decrease, in the local markets. If it is cheaper to make a good and export the good the importer will gain from trade by getting a good at a better price than what the opportunity cost of it would be. If the market price was higher, a lower price exporter will allow market price to fall and pose a benefit for consumers, in the sense that everyone gains the most with minimal losses in the short run. Four Key Points Emphasized in the Simulation Within the simulation team b has identified four key points that were underlined. First there is what is called dumping. Dumping is the selling of goods and products in other countries at a cost that is lower than the cost of those goods and products in its own country. Another key point identified in the simulation...

...International trade debate The strength of the dollar on domestic and global economy is very tangible throughout the world but it needs to be that way because a strong dollar could hurt exports into other countries and the U.S also, a strong dollar makes exports from the U.S more expensive to foreign consumers and buyers. The high tariffs and quotas that the United States uses to restrict trade with foreign countries are put in place to limit or restrict products and produce that enter the U.S. Tariffs and quantities restrictions (commonly known as import quotas) both serves the purpose to control the amount of foreign products that enter the domestic markets to be sold to consumers and buyers many countries can’t afford a weak dollar because the strength of the dollar versus the currencies of chronic surplus countries may be counterintuitive.. Tariffs are taxes that are levied on imported goods that enter country from other countries for example a major manufacturing companies that do a lot of business in different countries such as John Deere could see their sales fall by a stronger dollar and the U.S economy would need to increase their international sales to make up for restrained domestic spending a stronger dollar will result in a major loss in international sales and also constrain the U.S. GDP growth. The benefits from tariffs and quotas that are put in placed on countries to restrict their imports, sometimes they impose these quotas and sometimes they impose tariffs...

...International Trade Simulation and Report The advantage of international trade is countries with certain quantity, quality, and efficient production of goods and services can maximize their country’s wealth. Developing country’s increase sales and revenue through production expansion. International trade increases a country’s gross domestic product (GDP) by increasing the production of products sold to other countries. The free trade agreement between Rodamia, Uthania, and Suntize allowed each country to more efficiently use their resources to increase wealth through the comparative advantage of their export commodity. The flipside of international trade is another country’s ability to produce an export more efficiently than the importing country, causing domestic producers and firms to lose revenue or the opportunity for additional revenue. For example, if Rodamia continues a free trade agreement with Uthania for imports of corn, Rodamia misses the opportunity to become a large producer and net exporter of corn – hurting domestic producers and firms. To counteract the loss of increase revenue for domestic producers and firms, the Rodamia government can impose a tariff – place a tax on the corn or limit the amount of corn imported from Uthania – a quota. The government placing a tariff or quota on corn imported from Uthania protects domestic producers and firms from cheaper imports of corn and affords time to develop efficiency...

...International Trade Simulation and Report Taruh Cravens, Melody Jones, Geneva George-Williams, Ruby Morgan, Nicole Southerland ECO/212 Blake Bennett International Trade Simulation and Report This paper is a team correlation on the knowledge gained from our course of study and how the concepts are applied, how international trade affects the U.S, economy, and addresses the four key factors from our weekly reading assignments that are shown in the stimulation. The simulation identified Rodamia’s bordering countries provide an opportunity for international trade and investments that could greatly benefit Rodamia. International trade with other countries would give consumers more choices in price and quality of goods. The domestic producers would increase production to meet market demands in other countries, producing more capital for investing in new avenues. The interaction of trade between the countries will make the countries more vibrant and wealthier. Limitations of international trade are placed in the form of tariffs, quotas, and regulations. These limitations offer protection in certain circumstances but can have negative if used to retaliate for reasons such as political differences (Colander, 2004). The simulation emphasized four key points from the team’s weekly reading assignments, including comparative advantage, the principle of increasing marginal opportunity, the protection possibility curve, and limitations on international trade.

...International Trade Simulation and Report Samuel xxxxxxxxx ECO 212 May 07, 2012 Dr. Holscraft International Trade Simulation and Report Over the last few years the United States of America has been in an economic crisis. The economy has been affected badly by layoffs, factories closing down, and corporations needing bail outs. Whenever there is a high unemployment rate the economy heavily affected by the large number of lost laborers. Without laborers and factories to produce goods and services international trade becomes affected. International trade not only helps the United States economy but, also it helps the global economy as well. International trade provides numerous advantages to the United States economy but many limitations also exist so economic leaders must be aware of the pros and cons when negotiating these trades. Advantages and Limitations of International Trade The advantage of a free trade agreement will lower trade barriers, increase trade volume, open different markets, provide more products for consumers, and create more investments opportunities for both countries. Consumers receive the added benefits of competition and companies gain access to new markets. As outside firms invest, this investment creates jobs and tax revenue for the host country and additional revenue for the investing firm. A free trade agreement is an efficient situation for consumers and both countries involved. However, the disadvantage to a free trade agreement is...

...International Trade Simulation Week 8 Eco 212 The international simulation report is a compilation of the findings and outlines that reflect advantages and limitations of international trade as a whole. After reading the international trade simulation I did find that there are four distinct points that represent the elements that make up the report. I will be reviewing each point in depth along with providing a compare and contrast of the influences and advantages. I will finally end with a discussion that brings to light the issues surrounding the international trade report and provide a summary. The economy of Rodamia relies on three main areas: agriculture, industry and services. The country is surrounded by neighbors who produce similar and different products. Uthania is specialized in making chocolate and confectionary, but also produces goods such as minerals, coals and corn. On the other hand, Suntize is a tourist attraction which is good at producing electronic goods. Lastly, Alfazia is an agrarian economy and produces goods like corn, rice and cotton. On global interaction there is an economic characteristic where a nations exchanges goods and services to others. Globally this is known as importing and exporting production. Those nations with an open economy in the world is involved such processes with other nations, but they need to make sure they have positive interactions with the nations trading with and some of the traits would be to trust...
