Question:
There are two countries, A and B; each can make either Clothes or Food.
Country A can make either 5 units of Clothes or 4 units of Food.
Country B can make either 3 units of Clothes or 1 unit of Food.
Both countries consume 1 unit of Clothes for 2 units of Food.
Therefore, both countries will produce goods in this proportion - 1 unit of Clothes for every 2 units of Food produced.
What would the two countries produce jointly?
Recall that they want to consume in the same ratio of 1 Clothes unit per 2 Food units. Consider who has comparative advantage in producing Food. Remember that A can only produce 4 units of Food and B can produce only 1 unit of Food.
