Markets are separated into two broad categories based on their level of competition. On the one hand there are perfectly competitive markets and on the other hand, there are all other market structures which are grouped under imperfect competition. Markets under imperfect competition are generally described by fewer firms with each firm having some degree of market power depending on the number of firms in the market. Discuss the fundamental differences between perfect competition and imperfect competition (include a discussion of marginal revenue). In addition, discuss how the degree of market power effects the welfare of producers, consumers, and society. 20 Points

Suppose that Japan can produce 5 cars in 6 hours and 15 HD TVs in 8 hours. The US can produce 5 cars in 7 hours and 15 TVs in 5 hours. Explain which country has a comparative advantage in producing cars and which country has a comparative advantage in producing TVs. In your answer, be sure to be very specific as to how you identified the comparative advantage in each country and define how one goes about identifying comparative advantage.

Assuming that this is what is produced in each country (5 cars and 15 HD TVs), nothing more and nothing less, explain how both countries can benefit through trade. Again, be very specific in terms of identifying the gains from trade and how each country is better as compared to not trading at all.
