b.What pattern of specialization and trade will benefit both April and Arthur? Why?
a-
b-
Opportunity cost of producing 1 dozen of croissant :
for April = 15 dozens of apple pie
for Arthur = 2/10 = 0.2 dozens of apple pie
Since opportunity cost of producing 1 dozen of croissant is lower
for Arthur so Arthur should specialize in the production of
croissant. April should specialize in the production of apple
pie.
Therefore, April will export apple pie and import croissants.
Arthur will export croissant and import apple pie.
