Suppose that Portugal and Germany both produce beer and olives. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 barrels of beer while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 11 barrels of beer. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that Portugal has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.

Suppose that Portugal and Germany consider trading olives and beer with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 3 barrels of beer for each crate of olives it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/11 crate of olives for each barrel of beer it exports to Portugal.

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of beer) would allow both Germany and Portugal to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

10 barrels of beer per crate of olives
2 barrels of beer per crate of olives
13 barrels of beer per crate of olives
7 barrels of beer per crate of olives
