◦ supply curves
◦ demand curves
◦ production possibility frontiers
◦ marginal revenue curves
Question 2
Suppose that Paraguay and Guyana are both engaged in the production of soybeans and grapefruit, and that Paraguay has an absolute advantage in the production of both goods. If Guyana has a comparative advantage in the production of soybeans, then Guyana
◦ has a higher opportunity cost for soybeans, which means it should specialize in the production of grapefruit and engage in trade.
◦ has a lower opportunity cost for producing soybeans, but specialization is not feasible because Paraguay has a lower monetary cost of soybean production.
◦ has a lower opportunity cost for soybeans, which means that it should specialize in production of soybeans and engage in trade.
◦ should continue to produce soybeans, but only for domestic consumption, because trade is not a viable option.
