In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked “Trade Action,” and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked “Consumption.” When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 36 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn was 104 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by ______________million pairs per week, and the total production of corn has increased by ______________million bushels per week. Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade—that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked “Increase in Consumption”).

Question
In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and imports in the boxes across the row marked “Trade Action,” and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked “Consumption.”
When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 36 million pairs per week, and the total production of corn was 104 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by ______________million pairs per week, and the total production of corn has increased by ______________million bushels per week.
Because the two countries produce more jeans and more corn under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade.
Calculate the gains from trade —that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked “Increase in Consumption”).
