The production possibilities frontiers in the figure to the right show how many bananas and coconuts you (Y) and your
neighbor (N) can consume without trade. Suppose you are initially consuming 6 bananas and 6 coconuts and your
neighbor is initially consuming 3 bananas and 9 coconuts.
Now, suppose you and your neighbor specialize by each only producing the good for which you have a comparative
advantage.
You give your neighbor half of your production for half of what he produces. (Enter all responses as integers.)
If you trade with your neighbor, then you will have 8 additional coconut(s) after the trade and 10 additional banana(s)
additional banana(s) and will be
as a result of
the same time, your neighbor will be able to consume
trade.

Respuesta :

If you trade with your neighbor, then you will have 6 additional coconuts after the trade and 9 additional bananas and will be better off as a result of trade.  At the same time, your neighbor will be able to consume 3 additional coconuts and 12 additional bananas after trade.

What is the production possibility frontier?

The Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) is an economic curve that illustrates the combinations of production that can be attained when nations or firms specialize in producing goods in areas where they enjoy more comparative advantages than others.

Data and Calculations:

Consumption without trade:

                           Coconuts      Bananas

You                          6                      6

Neighbor                 9                      3

Total consumed    15                      9

Production with specialization:

                           Coconuts      Bananas

You                          24                      0

Neighbor                   0                    30

Total Production     24                    30

Additional units with specialization:

                                      Coconuts    Bananas
Production with trade        24                30

Trade Exchange                 12                 15

Balance after trade            12                 15

Your Consumption with trade:

                           Coconuts      Bananas

After trade                12                15

Before trade              6                 6

Additional units         6                 9

Neighbor's consumption with trade:

                           Coconuts      Bananas

After trade                12                15

Before trade              9                 3

Additional units         3                12

Thus, with the PPF, we can conclude that you and your neighbor enjoy the consumption of more coconuts and bananas when you engage in trade than without trade.
