hello,
I am seeking help on how to properly formulate in order to answer the following.
Here is the opening prompt, followed by a few screenshots.
Jake and Latasha are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of rye and corn each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing rye or corn or to produce rye on some of the land and corn on the rest.


Rye Corn (Bushels per acre) ( Bushels per acre) Jake 14 7 Latasha 30 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Jake's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Latasha's PPF. 200 O 180 160 Jake's PPF 140 120 tasha's PPF 100 CORN (Bushels) 80 60 10 20 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 RYE (Bushels)V has an absolute advantage in the production of rye, and V has an absolute advantage in the production of corn. Jake's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is bushels of rye, whereas Latasha's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is bushels of rye. Because Jake has a V opportunity cost of producing corn than Latasha, V has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and v has a comparative advantage in the production of rye
