Before trade, Jackson produces and consumes 30 head of cattle and 80 bushels of wheat. After specializing in wheat and trading with Tahoe, Jackson can produce and export 120 bushels of wheat to Tahoe in exchange for 60 head of cattle. Jackson's consumption point will now be at the point where it consumes 80 bushels of wheat and 60 head of cattle, which is on its new production possibility frontier. Therefore, the answer is 80;60.
