Answer #1

Trade is mutually beneficial when price lies between the opportunity costs of two regions.

Opportunity cost of 1 bushel of corn in Iowa = 45/30 = 1.5 bushels of soybean ( = max. production of soybean/ max. production of corn)

Opportunity cost of 1 bushel of corn in Nebraska = 80/40 = 2 bushels of soybean

option d is correct (the price lies between the opportunity costs of Nebraska and Iowa)
