SCENARIO: CHILE AND ARGENTINA

Chile and Argentina each produce jellybeans and peanut butter using labor as their only resource. Each country has 1,000 hours of labor. In Chile, 1 hour of labor produces 1 pound of jellybeans or 1/2 pound of peanut butter. In Argentina, 1 hour of labor produces 1 pound of jellybeans or 1/3 pound of peanut butter. When they do not trade with each other, Chile consumes 600 pounds of jellybeans and 200 pounds of peanut butter, and Argentina consumes 400 pounds of jellybeans and 200 pounds of peanut butter.
