From videos I've seen on youtube, they basically state that as long as the cost is less than what the original opportunity cost is, then nations will trade. So, it costs China 4 apparel for every 1 ton of chemicals, and in the US it costs 1 apparel for every 3 tons of chemicals. Am I right to assume that as long as China can trade less than 4 apparel it will benefit, and as long as the US can trade less than 3 tons of chemicals it will benefit? If so, then what is the math being used to arrive at exactly 1 ton of Chemicals for 1 ton of Apparel for China, and 1 apparel for 2.5 tons of Chemicals for the US?
