In the figure are two linear production possibilities curves for countries Alpha and Beta. We can conclude that Multiple Choice different value systems make it impossible to compare opportunity costs in the two countries. the opportunity cost of shelter is greater in Beta than it is in Alpha. the opportunity cost of food is greater in Alpha than it is in Beta. the opportunity cost of shelter is greater in Alpha than it is in Beta.

I've already read the answer provided on this site, but it is not giving me the information I need. I understand the math for finding the opportunity costs for each item in each country. However, where are they getting the answer that 2.5 tons of chemicals is what the US will give up, and 1 ton of apparel is what China will give up? From videos I've seen on youtube, they basically state that as long as the cost is less than what the original opportunity cost is, then nations will trade. So, it costs China 4 apparel for every 1 ton of chemicals, and in the US it costs 1 apparel for every 3 tons of chemicals. Am I right to assume that as long as China can trade less than 4 apparel it will benefit, and as long as the US can trade less than 3 tons of chemicals it will benefit? If so, then what is the math being used to arrive at exactly 1 ton of Chemicals for 1 ton of Apparel for China, and 1 apparel for 2.5 tons of Chemicals for the US? I need to understand the math that is used to…
