Part1 Precious Metals ability Precious Metals Price Soybeans ability Soybeans Price China 100 40 1 5 U.S. 1 40 500 5 (1) According to this case China can product 100 kilos of precious metals and 1 kills of soybeans per day and the U.S. can produce 1 kilo of Precious Metals and 500 kilos of soybeans per day.
