1. Drawn below are two increasing-costs PPFs for two countries, Azerbaijan (A) and Comoros (C), with each country's pre-trade and post-trade positions shown. Smartphones (S) are capital- intensive and jujubes (J) are land-intensive. Smartphones R PPFA Azerbaijan о Smartphones T Comoros E R PPFC D Jujubes Jujubes The line RR represents the autarky price line for Azerbaijan (with slope (p^/^^)) and the line DD represents the autarky price line for Comoros (with slope (PC/PS)). e) Reproduce the figures, and clearly construct the trade triangles for each country. Clearly identify the levels of exports (EX) and imports (IM) of each good for each country.

Suppose that Egypt produces cotton and lamb, and that it has comparative advantage in cotton. Draw Eqypt's non-linear (i.e., concave) PPF and FTBL, with cotton on the horizontal axis and lamb on the vertical axis. Be sure to label the axes, the PPF, the FTBL and the autarky and free trade prices. Also show the quantities of imports and exports. (Note, there are no values for the prices, so just show the price ratio and how it's represented in the graph.)
