When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Sylvania. Both countries produce potatoes and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of potatoes and 9 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

When a country speciallizes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than Its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilitles frontlers (PPFS) for Maldonia and Sylvanla. Both countries produce lemons and coffee, each Initlally (that is, before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of lemons and 9 million pounds of coffee, as Indicated by grey points (star symbols) labeled point A.

Suppose that Glacier and Congaree agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 16 million pounds of corn for 16 million pounds of basil. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Glacier and Congaree. The following graph shows the same PPF for Glacier as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A.

Chemicals Italy Suppose the world economy is composed of just two countries: Italy and Greece. Each can produce steel or chemicals, but at different levels of economic efficiency. The production possibilities curves for the two countries are shown in the graphs. It can be deduced that Multiple Choice O Chemicals Greece Greece has a comparative advantage in chemicals Greece has the absolute advantage in both products. Italy has a comparative advantage in chemicals. It is more costly in terms of resources to produce steel in Italy.
