For this question, only consider Korea and the United States. If the United States is better at producing agricultural goods and technological goods, then It would be impossible for the United States to benefit from trade with Korea since the United States have an absolute advantage in the production of both good A. ? OB. It would be impossible for the United States to have an absolute advantage over another country in the production of both products. OC. The United States should specialize in the production of technological goods if Korea has a comparative advantage in the production of agricultural goods. The United States should specialize in the product in which it has an absolute advantage. OD.

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?
