Suppose the production possibilities for two countries, producing either food or clothing, are shown in the above figure. They can each produce any linear combination as well. Assuming free trade between these two countries, Canada will produce food
◦ as long as people are willing to give up more than 1/2 unit of clothing to get a unit of food.
◦ as long as any positive amount of food is demanded.
◦ as long as people are willing to give up at least 1 unit of clothing to get a unit of food.
◦ as long as more than 10 units of food are demanded.

Suppose the production possibilities for two countries, producing either food or clothing, are shown in the above figure. They can each produce any linear combination as well. If production occurs at the kink on the joint production possibility frontier,
◦ the U.S. will specialize in clothing and Canada will specialize in food.
◦ joint output is minimized.
◦ the U.S. will specialize in food and Canada will specialize in clothing.
◦ each country will devote half of its resources to each industry.

Suppose the production possibilities for two countries, producing either food or clothing, are shown in the above figure. They can each produce any linear combination as well. Suppose each country is in competitive equilibrium prior to free trade being allowed. Once free trade is allowed, the price of food will be
◦ one-half the price of clothing.
◦ two times the price of clothing.
◦ equal to the price of clothing.
◦ somewhere between one-half the price of clothing and the price of clothing, depending upon the relative bargaining power of the two countries.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
