3. Gains from trade Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Everglades and Denali. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce shorts, almonds, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of shorts or almonds that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) Everglades 5 20 Denali 8 16 Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 3 million hours per week to produce almonds, while Everglades uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 1 million hours per week to produce almonds. As a result, Everglades produces 15 million pairs of shorts and 20 million pounds of almonds, and Denali produces 8 million pairs of shorts and 48 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of…
