The accompanying production possibilities frontiers (ppf) represent hypothetical levels of production for honduras and brazil. assume the two countries are initially producing and consuming in autarky at point a on each of their ppfs. suppose these countries decide to trade. each country will specialize in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage. a. what will each country produce? honduras will produce steel and brazil bananas. brazil will produce both goods. honduras will produce both goods. honduras will produce bananas and brazil steel. b. suppose each country specializes in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage, and they trade at a price of of 4,000 tons of steel for 6,000 tons of bananas. place the points labeled "post trade consumption" to show the amounts of bananas and steel each country will have to consume after they trade.

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
