Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allocating 5 million people to the rice industry in both countries and the rest to the beer industry, we calculate the production based on their respective productivities. For rice, Country A (with 10 million people) would produce 5 million * 4 units = 20 units of rice, and Country B (with 10 million people) would produce 5 million * 3 units = 15 units of rice, totaling 35 units of rice. For beer, Country A would have 5 million people producing 5 million * 2 units = 10 units of beer, and Country B would have 5 million people producing 5 million * 5 units = 25 units of beer, totaling 35 units of beer.
