Question
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 Candonia and Sylvania. Both countries produce lemons and coffee, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of lemons and 12 million pounds of coffee, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.
 
Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of    , while Sylvania has a comparative advantage in the production of    . Suppose that Candonia and Sylvania specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of
 
million pounds of lemons and
 
million pounds of coffee.
 
Suppose that Candonia and Sylvania agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 8 million pounds of lemons for 8 million pounds of coffee. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Candonia and Sylvania.
The following graph shows the same PPF for Candonia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Candonia's consumption after trade.
 
True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Candonia and Sylvania would not have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles. (Hint: Base this question on the answers you previously entered on this page.)
