Suppose that Freedonia and Desonia 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
tea.
Suppose that Freedonia and Desonia 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 tea. This ratio of goods is known as the price of
trade between Freedonia and Desonia.
