After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of million pounds of sugar and million pounds of lemons.

Answer 1

Answer:

Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of LEMONS, while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of COFFEE. 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 36 million pounds of coffee and 36 million pounds of lemons.

Explanation:

Since a lot of information was missing, I looked it up and found the attached graphs. The graphs referred to production of coffee and lemons, but I guess they are similar questions.

For every pound of lemons that Candonia produces, it will not be able to produce ¹/₂ pounds of coffee (opportunity cost of producing lemons instead of coffee).

For every pound of coffee that Lamponia produces, it will not be able to produce 1¹/₂ pounds of lemons (opportunity cost of producing coffee instead of lemons).
