a. Suppose Big Country can produce 80 units of X by using all its resources to produce X or 60 units of Y by devoting all its resources to Y. Comparable figures for Small Nation are 60 units of X and 60 units of Y. Assuming constant costs, Big Country needs to give up multiple choice: A) 1 unit of Y for 1 unit of X and should produce good X. Small Nation needs to give up 3/4 of a unit of X for 1 unit of Y and should produce good Y. B) 3/4 of a unit of Y for 1 unit of X and should produce good Y. Small Nation needs to give up 1 unit of X for 1 unit of Y and should produce good X. C) 3/4 of a unit of Y for 1 unit of X and should produce good X. Small Nation needs to give up 1 unit of X for 1 unit of Y and should produce good Y. D) 1 unit of Y for 1 unit of X and should produce good Y. Small Nation needs to give up 3/4 of a unit of X for 1 unit of Y and should produce good X.
