Production of a hammock in the U.S. requires one-fourth skilled worker-day or one-third unskilled worker-day, while production of a hammock in Guatemala requires one-third skilled worker-day or one unskilled worker day. If eighty unskilled worker-days are moved from producing hammocks to producing catheters in the U.S., while ninety skilled worker-days are moved from producing catheters to producing hammocks in Guatemala, combined production of the two goods in the two countries will change by
A) ten additional catheters and thirty additional hammocks.
