ips S Suppose that Freedonia and Desonia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. Freedonia has a comparative advantage in the production of tea. The countries decide to exchange 4 million pounds of grain for 4 million pounds of tea. This ratio of goods is known as the terms of trade between Freedonia and Desonia. The following graph shows the PPF for Freedonia, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (cross symbol) on the graph to indicate Freedonia's consumption after trade. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.
