Jason and Holly produce lollipops and chocolates. Their production possibilities are given by the following functions: Jason: Q = 140 - 10QC Holly: Q = 110 - 5Qc Before they trade, Jason is producing and consuming 60 lollipops and 8 chocolates. Before they trade, Holly is producing and consuming 55 lollipops and 11 chocolates. Then they decide to specialize and trade based on comparative advantage. They agree to trade 66 lollipops for 9 chocolates. How many MORE lollipops will Jason have with trade compared to without trade? Answer:

Suppose that Bob and Jimmy both have 10 hours of time that they can use to do one of two things: make pasta or make hamburgers. Bob can make 15 hamburgers in one hour and 3 plates of pasta in one hour. Jimmy can make 8 hamburgers in one hour and 2 plates of pasta in one hour. Who has comparative in the production of hamburgers? Who has comparative advantage in the production of pasta?   If Bob and Jimmy trade, who should specialize in producing hamburgers and who should specialize in producing pancakes? Give an example of terms of trade at which mutually beneficial trade would be possible between Bob and Jimmy.

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Yosemite and Congares. Both countries produce corn and lentils, each initially (ie, before specialization and trade) producing 6 million pounds of corn and 3 million pounds of lentils, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
