Answer: Because the United States imports televisions, P2 (GREATER) represents the world price before the technological advance, and P1 (MINOR) represents the world price after the technological advance.
Explanation: The United States has no comparative advantage over the other countries in the production of televisions, therefore it IMPORTS them. Â Therefore, the price of televisions in the United States under normal conditions is higher than the world price, and as the world price falls as a result of Japan's technological advance, the price in the United States also decreases.
