Imagine the following case study where two different countries: Albania and Belize have remained self-sufficient and mostly produce two of the following products: corn and beets. Our hopes are that we will be able to improve trade liberalization and encourage each one to work together in order to improve the number of resources and goods each one provides to their population. Here are their production levels for each product per worker/month (assume each country has a workforce for 15 workers): Bushels Corn (Y-аxis) Вeets (X-аxis) Albania 40 20 Belize 20 4 a) Calculate and graph the Production possibilities frontiers for both countries. b) Assume that both countries currently prefer equal amounts of corn and beet for their production & consumption levels within their country, clearly label this point and call it point B: production/consumption before trade. c) Calculate and state the number of workers that would be required in order to produce points B for both countries. d) Complete the table below showing the different levels of opportunity cost
