| Cheese | OliveOil | |
| Home | qC?=1poundper hour | qO?=3gallons per hour |
| Foreign | q*C?=5pounds per hour | q*O?=4gallons per hour |
?where:
| qC | ?= | units ofcheeseproduced in Home by one hour of? labor; |
| qO | ?= | units ofoliveoilproduced in Home by one hour of? labor; |
| q*C | ?= | units ofcheeseproduced in Foreign by one hour of? labor; |
| q*O | ?= | units ofoliveoilproduced in Foreign by one hour of? labor; |
| PCW | ?= | the world price ofcheese?(the trade? price); |
| POW | ?= | the world price ofoliveoil?(the trade? price). |
Both Home and Foreign will gain from trade if the world price ofoliveoil?(POW?)lies between two limits as? follows:nothingpoundsgallon>POW>nothingpoundsgallon.?(Round each response to two decimal? places.)
