Answer :
From the above given table it can be concluded that :
Country X can either produce 200 units and of coffee (point A) or 200 units of sugar (point F)
Thus the opportunity cost to Country X for producing 1 unit of coffee = (200/200) units of sugar = 1 unit of sugar
Now, Country Y can either produce 100 units of coffee (point A) or 150 units of sugar (point F)
Thus the opportunity cost to Country Y for producing 1 unit of coffee is = (150/100) units of sugar = 1.5 units of sugar
Thus Country X has a comparative advantage in the production of coffee with respect to Country Y, since its opportunity cost for producing coffee is lower (1 unit of sugar < 1.5 units of sugar).
Similarly Country Y has a comparative advantage in the production of sugar with respect to Country X.
Also by rule countries should focus on the production of only those goods where it has a comparitive advantage
Thus Country X should produce coffee and export it to Country Y and simultaneously Country Y should produce sugar and export it to Country X.
