Alpha and Beta, two tiny islands off the east coast of Tricoli, produce pearls and pineapples. The production possibilities schedules in the table and graphs below describe their potential output in tons per year. Given this information, answer two questions about comparative advantage and trade.

a. What is the opportunity cost of pineapples on each island?
To produce one ton of pineapples in Alpha, the opportunity cost is:				ton(s) of pearls
To produce one ton of pineapples in Beta, the opportunity cost is:				ton(s) of pearls
b. Which island has a comparative advantage in pineapple production?
