Each country faces a trade-off when producing the two goods. The following graph displays the respective production possibilities frontiers (PPF) for Grork and Ferville.
If the two nations operate in autarky, which of the black points (plus symbol) are attainable for Grork? Check all that apply. Point A Point B Point C Point D Suppose the two nations decide to trade with each other at a rate of one electric dog collar per plastic army man (1:1). On the previous graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to represent the terms of trade to help you find your answer to the following question. You will not be graded on where you place the line on the graph.
