France's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish
=
= 0.33 pane of stained glass
Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a pound of fish
=
= 0.09 pane of stained glass
France has a lower opportunity cost of producing stained glass so we can say it has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass. While Denmark has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.
If both countries start to trade with each other, France will gain from trade as long as it gets more than 3 pounds of fish for each pane of stained glass.
While Denmark can gain from trade if it gets more than 0.09 pane of stained glass for each pound of fish it exports.
