There are two countries, Home and Foreign. Labor is the only factor of production. There are two goods, X and Y. The following table shows the output of each good per hour of labor, in the two countries. Home has 100 units of labor, Foreign has 500 units of labor.
Home | Foreign | |
Good X | 1 | 4 |
Good Y | 3 | 24 |
