### Graph Analysis

The illustration contains two graphs, representing the production possibility frontiers (PPF) for two countries, labeled "Country 1" and "Country 2."

#### **Country 1 Graph**
- **Axes:** The vertical axis represents "Hot Dogs," and the horizontal axis represents "Hamburgers."
- **PPF Curve:** Shows all possible combinations of Hot Dogs and Hamburgers that Country 1 can produce.
- **Price Lines:** 
  - \( P_b = 3/4 \)
  - \( P_a = 1/2 \)
- **Points:**
  - Point \( a \) is below the PPF.
  - Point \( b \) is on the PPF.
  - Point \( c \) is also on the PPF.
  - Point \( d \) is above the PPF.

#### **Country 2 Graph**
- **Axes:** The vertical axis represents "Hot Dogs," and the horizontal axis represents "Hamburgers."
- **PPF Curve:** Displays all possible combinations of Hot Dogs and Hamburgers that Country 2 can produce.
- **Price Lines:**
  - \( P_a' = 3/2 \)
  - \( P_b' = 3/4 \)
- **Points:**
  - Point \( a' \) is below the PPF.
  - Point \( b' \) is on the PPF.
  - Point \( c' \) is on the PPF.
  - Point \( d' \) is above the PPF.

### Question
