Suppose Latvia and Estonia each produce only two goods, tractors and bobsleds. Both are produced using labor alone. Assuming both countries are at full employment, you are given the following information:

Latvia:

20 units of labor required to produce 1 tractor 8 units of labor required to produce 1 bobsled Total labor force: 1,000,000 units

Estonia:

15 units of labor required to produce 1 tractor

30 units of labor required to produce 1 bobsled

Total labor force: 750,000 units

Draw the production possibility frontiers for each country in the absence of trade. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the production possibility frontier for Latvia. Properly label

your line.

2.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the production possibility frontier for Estonia. Properly label your line.

Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects.

If transportation costs are ignored and trade is allowed, Estonia and Latvia will not engage in trade.

If a trade agreement is negotiated, at what rate (number of bobsleds per tractor) would they agree to exchange?

(Round your responses to two decimal places.)

and

bobsleds for one tractor.
