Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Jeans Rye (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Felicidad 5 20 Contente 8 16 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye, and Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and…
