Finally, let's open up trade. Trade has to make both sides better off to occur (or at least no worse off), and in this problem, as in most negotiations, there is more than one price that can make both sides better off (think about haggling over the price of a car or a house). Let's pick out a case that makes one side better off and leaves the other side just as well-off as in a no-trade world. The price both sides agree to is 3 rotids for 2 taurons. Ship 5 million taurons in one direction, and 7.5 million rotids in the other direction. You'll have to figure out on your own which way the trade flows. In the following table, calculate the amount that each country gets to consume. Which country is better off under this set of prices? Which one is exactly as well off as before?

Mandovia would consume __million rotidsand __million tauronswhile Ducennia would consume ___million rotidsand ___million taurons.Mandovia is just as well-off,better off, or worse off while Ducennia isworse off,better off, or just as well-offunder these prices.,
