the domestic economy will become:
O either a net importer or a net exporter of the good, but it is impossible to say which.
O a net importer of the good.
neither a net importer nor a net exporter of the good.
a net exporter of the good.

baby formula and tuna fish-are as follows in the hypotheti-
cal nations of Canswicki and Tunata:
Canswicki: 1 can baby formula = 2 cans tuna fish
1 can baby formula = 4 cans tuna fish
Tunata:
In what product should each nation specialize? Explain why
terms of trade of 1 can baby formula =
