1. The table below shows the output per week of two jewelers, Serena and Haley. They can either devote their time to making bracelets or making necklaces.

	Serena	Haley
Bracelets	8	9
Necklaces	16	12

1. What does absolute advantage mean? What does comparative advantage mean? Explain which is the basis for trade, and why.

1. You and your neighbor are the only people in a world that produces only cashews and mushrooms. You do not engage in trade with each other. On your own, you can each produce the following per day:

	You	Neighbor
Cashews	Mushrooms	Cashews	Mushrooms
Only gather cashews	12 pounds	0 pounds	4 pounds	0 pounds
Only gather mushrooms	0 pounds	6 pounds	0 pounds	4 pounds

Right now, you each split your time between gathering each product. You currently gather and consume eight pounds of cashews and two pounds of mushrooms, while your neighbor is gathering and consuming three pounds of cashews and one pound of mushrooms. Show numerically how specialization and then trade with each other can make both of you better off. Who specializes in the production of each product, and what is a trade you could then make with each other that would be beneficial to both of you?
