So what is true about this combination of fish and water? 

The combination of 4 fish & 4 bottles of water is?

a) Outside of Tabitha's PPF, but on my PPF

b) Outside of Tabitha's PPF, and outside of my PPF

 

Note- Tabitha has the Comparative Advantage for fish and you (Rhonda) have the comparative advantage for water. And at the end of the 12 hour day after we trade, both of us will each have 4 fish and 4 bottles of water. 

Do I look at their opportunity cost to solve this question?
