Point A shows a point where an indifference curve is tangent to theproduction possibilities curve where televisions on the vertical axis equal 8 and refrigerators on thehorizontal axis equal 12. A downward sloping straight line representing the international terms oftrade starts at a point where refrigerators equal 24; an indifference curve is tangent to this line at apoint where televisions equal 12 and refrigerators equal 16.Referring to Figure 2.2, Canada has a comparative advantage in:Refrigerators

Each country produces two goods, snow cones and popsicles. With the opening of international trade, the agreed price between Iceland and Greenland for popsicles is 1.3. Assume that the country which now imports popsicles (with int'l trade) decides that it will import 100 units of popsicles. The new consumption bundles/points after international trade for Greenland and Iceland, respectively, are?
