The following graph shows the same PPF for Yosemite as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Yosemite's consumption after trade. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. The following graph shows the same PPF for Congaree as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A.

Suppose that Maldonia and Lamponia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 16 million pounds of lemons for 16 million pounds of sugar. This ratio of goods is known as the terms of trade between Maldonia and Lamponia. The following graph shows the same PPF for Maldonia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A.

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 Glacier and Denali. 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.

Specialization and trade 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 Maldonia and Lamponia.

The production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Honduras and Brazil, representing hypothetical levels of production, are shown in the graphs. Assume that, without trade, each country is initially producing and consuming at point A on its PPF curve. Suppose these countries decide to trade. Each country will specialize in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage. Assume the countries agree to trade. The terms of trade are 6000 tons of bananas for 4000 tons of steel. Move the post‑trade consumption point for each country to reflect their post‑trade consumption. Which good will each country produce? Honduras will produce bananas and Brazil will produce steel. Brazil will produce both bananas and steel. Honduras will produce both bananas and steel. Honduras will produce steel and Brazil will produce bananas.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your ability to draw a simple production possibilities curve given data on the quantity of one input (labor) and the amount of labor required to produce each of two outputs (guns and butter). You should also be able to identify the opportunity cost of one good in terms of the other as the slope of the PPC. You will explain your analysis of the figures to explain why it’s not possible to produce combinations of the two goods outside the PPC.Guns or Butter?Suppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns or butter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor to produce.Explain why scarcity exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of your reasoning.What is the maximum quantity of guns that can be produced?What is the maximum quantity of butter than can be produced?Draw the nation’s production possibility curve.What is the opportunity cost of guns in this…
