The diagram at right shows the production possibilities boundaries in Venezuela for two goods, silk and beer. The
solid line represents the production possibilities boundary and the dashed line represents the trade line.
Suppose that the price of beer rises and the price of silk is unchanged.
Using the line drawing tool, show the impact of this event on the trade line.
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
The increase in the price of beer diminished the terms of trade for Venezuela. Venezuela is better off
