![Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denali. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that
can be used to produce pistachios, chinos, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of pistachios or chinos that can be
produced by one hour of labor.

Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce pistachios and 3 million hours per week to produce chinos, while
Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce pistachios and 1 million hours per week to produce chinos. As a result, Sequoia produces 24
million pounds of pistachios and 32 million pairs of chinos, and Denali produces 12 million pounds of pistachios and 72 million pairs of chinos. Assume
there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount
of pistachios and chinos it produces.

When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of pistachios was 36 million pounds per week, and the total production of chinos was
104 million pairs per week. Because of specialization, the total production of pistachios has increased by
