Below is the production possibilities frontier for Poland. It shows that Poland is able to produce either 80 batches of apples or 20 batches of pumpkins using all of its available resources. Also suppose that Poland decides to produce at point A: 40 batches of apples and 10 batches of pumpkins. If Poland engages in international trade and trades 20 batches of apples for 8 batches of pumpkins with another country, it will be able to consume outside of its production possibilities frontier. How many batches of apples will will the country have at the end of the exchange? Apples (batches) 100 batches of apples 80 60 40 20 Provide your answer below: 5 A 10 15 20 Poland's Production Possibilities Frontier 25 30 Pumpkins (batches)

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Candonia and Sylvania. Both countries produce grain and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 12 million pounds of grain and 6 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Suppose that Ontario and Vermont each produce two goods, maple syrup (M) and hockey sticks (H). The quantities of each good that can be produced by each region in a day are given below: ONTARIO VERMONT GALLONS OF MAPLE SYRUP/DAY 400 1200 HOCKEY STICKS/DAY 200 300 Which region has an absolute advantage in maple syrup production? Which region has an absolute advantage in hockey stick production? Find the opportunity costs of each good for both Ontario and Vermont. c. Should Ontario and Vermont specialize and trade? Which good should be produced by Ontario? Vermont? What are the terms of trade? Use PPCs and CPCs to show that each would be better off through specialization and trade. Of what principle does this question provide an example?
