Shown below are the production possibilities curves for two
nations: the United States and Chile. Suppose these two nations do
not currently engage in international trade or specialization, and
suppose that points A and
a show the combinations of wheat and
copper they now produce and consume.

#12. Suppose that, on the basis of a nations production possibilities curve, an economy must sacrifice 10,000 pizzas domestically to get the 1 additional industrial robot it desires but that it can get the robot from another country in exchange for 9000 pizzas. Relate this information to the following statement; Through international specialization and trade, a nation can reduce its opportunity cost of obtaining good and thus 'move outside its production possibility curve."
