Currently, Tomczakistan is closed to international trade and producing at the grey point (star symbol) labeled A on the graph. Suppose that Tomczakistan is going to trade with Leightvania, a country that is relatively rich in labor and was also previously closed to international trade. On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to indicate which way Tomczakistan will adjust its production by placing it on one of the two black points (plus symbol). Dashed droplines will automatically extend to both axes. GOODS 10 9 8 New Production
