Now suppose that if Zimbabwe uses all of its resources, it can produce 50,000 tons of metal ores or 100,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate).  Suppose that if South Africa uses all of its resources, it can produce 20,000 tons of metal ores or 80,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate).  What is the direction of trade (who exports what to whom)?  Be sure to give the opportunity costs of production of both goods for both countries. What is one potential price of metal ores in terms of trucks at which both Zimbabwe and South Africa would benefit from trade?  Rank the autarkic prices and the world price of metal ores from lowest to highest
