The unit labor coefficients for the two countries for producing steel (S) and airplanes (A) are: USLS= 10L/S USLA= 10L/ACLS= 20L/S CLA= 5L/ABoth countries have the same number of workers.

b.Suppose the wage in the US was $5/L and the wage in China was $5/L. Will both countries be able to export the good of comparative advantage?
