Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specialization and trade would allow Solange and Jay-Z to consume outside their respective PPFs because they could each specialize in producing the item for which they have a comparative advantage and then trade with each other. This would allow them to consume more of both goods than they could produce individually. None of the other options would permit them to consume outside their PPFs.
