Suppose that Poland and Luxembourg both produce beets and wheat. Poland's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 6 bushels of beets while Luxembourg's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 11 bushels of beets. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wheat in the two countries, you can tell that production of wheat and has a comparative advantage in the production of beets. Suppose that Poland and Luxembourg consider trading wheat and beets with each other. Poland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beets for each bushel of wheat it exports to Luxembourg. Similarly, Luxembourg can gain from trade as lon of wheat for each bushel of beets it exports to Poland. as it receives more than has a comparative advantage in the Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wheat in terms of beets) would allow both Luxembourg and Poland to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 5 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat 14 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat 9 bushels of beets per bushel of wheat O 1 bushel of beets per bushel of wheat

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 Shenandoah and Congaree. Both countries produce corn and pistachios, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of corn and 9 million pounds of pistachios, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
