When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country willl specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Candonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and coffee, each Initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 12 million pounds of lemons and 6 million pounds of coffee, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its
trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.
The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Candonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce lemons and coffee, each
initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 12 million pounds of lemons and 6 million pounds of coffee, as indicated by the grey stars

Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of
while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the
production of
. Suppose that Candonia and Lamponia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a
comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of
million pounds of coffee and
million pounds of
lemons.
Suppose that Candonia and Lamponia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative
advantage. The countries decide to exchange 12 million pounds of lemons for 12 million pounds of coffee. This ratio of goods is known as the price of
trade between Candonia and Lamponia.
The following graph shows the same PPF for Candonia as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the
A-Z
graph to indicate Candonia's consumption after trade.
Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.
