Next, suppose that both countries specialize in the good for which they have a comparative advantage and then trade 50 tons of rice for 120 tons of corn. Use the grey point (star symbol) to plot the post-specialization and trade level of consumption for the United States. Use the orange point (square symbol) to plot the post-specialization and trade level of consumption for Venezuela.

As a result, The United States and Venezuela produce corn and rice. The following production possibilities schedule describes their potential output in tons per year. Using the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.
