Refer to the production possibility frontiers for two friends Frodo and Sam who can both produce Ice creams and Jelly beans. Frodo's maximum production of Ice creams is 500 with no Jelly beans, or 2,000 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. Sam's maximum production of Ice creams is 600 with no Jelly beans, or 1,200 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. ICE CREAMS ICE CREAMS 600 500 1200 JELLY BEANS 2000 JELLY BEANS Frodo' PPF Sam's PPF Answer briefly these TWO questions in the box space provided below.

Figure 3: Two Production Possibilities Frontiers Britain United States 100 30 90 200 Assume the world consists hypothetically of only two countries that can produce only two products, in the same period, with the same fixed amount of resources, with the same highest technologies available worldwide, and with the simplified assumption of producing "along" a linear production possibility frontier (PPF). Figure 3 provides the production possibilities frontiers between Textiles (T) and Soybeans (S) in the United States (A) and Britain (B). Referring to Figure 3, which of the following is true according to David Ricardo's Comparative Advantage Theory? Only the United States can benefit from engaging in free international trade with Britain. Neither Britain nor the United States can benefit from engaging in free international trade. Both Britain and the United States can benefit from engaging in free international trade. None of the above.
