    the gains resulting from trade:

    8 porks - (2 + 6) = 0 20 beans - (10 + 6) = 4 beans

    Explanation:

    Latalia's production A. B. C. D. E.

    pork 4 3 2 1 0

    beans 0 5 10 15 20

    Trombonia's production A. B. C. D. E.

    pork 8 6 4 2 0

    beans 0 6 12 18 24

    Latalia's opportunity cost of producing pork at C = 10 / 2 = 5 beans

    Latalia's opportunity cost of producing beans at C = 2 / 10 = 0.2 pork

    Trombonia's opportunity cost of producing pork at B = 6 / 6 = 1 bean

    Trombonia's opportunity cost of producing beans at B = 6 / 6 = 1 pork

    Latalia should specialize in the production of beans while Trombonia should specialize in the production of pork.

    Total production will be 8 porks and 20 beans.

    the gains resulting from trade:

    8 porks - (2 + 6) = 0 20 beans - (10 + 6) = 4 beans
