2. There are only two outputs and one input. India can produce 4 yards of textiles and 5 pounds
of food per unit of input. Thailand can produce 5 yards of textiles and 10 pounds of food per
unit of input.
India is endowed with 200 units of inputs and Thailand is endowed with 150 units of input.
Without trade, each country produces and consumes as follows:
Production if No Trade input Food Production Textile Production
India 20014060
Thailand 1507080
Input Food Production Textile Production
India produces and consumes 200700240
Thailand produces and consumes 150700400
