Ok, say Kurt and Iggi make ice cream and waffle cones.

Iggie makes

24 ice cream scoops per hour and 8 cones per hour

Kurt makes 16 scoops per hour and 4 cones per hour

Iggie's cost for each is

1 cone = 3 ice cream scoops

1 ice cream scoops = .333 cones

Kurt is

1 cone = 4 ice cream scoops

1 scoop = . 25 cones.

Obviously iggie has the absolute advantage in both fields because he makes more per hour of both, but it costs Kurt less cones to make a scoop of ice cream so he has the comparative advantage.

what price of waffle cones in terms of ice cream scoops would make both wish to trade?

A = 2.75 ice cream per cone
B= 1 ice cream per cone
C= 3.25 ice cream per cone
D = 4.50 ice cream per cone

I don't know why I can't wrap my head around this right now, macro is my favorite subject. I'm thinking the answer is A but I feel like I'm over-looking something or I'm looking at the problem backwards.

Why would you need a cone to make a scoop of icecream?

---

Because you have to think about how many they can make in an hour.

Iggy can spend one hour either making Ice cream or Waffle cones, it's what he does. Same with Kurt. Kurt can make more ice cream at the expense of less cones, whereas Iggi's makes less ice cream at the expense of more cones. So if Kurt strictly makes ice cream, and Iggi strictly makes cones, and then they trade, they each make more of both.

Problem is, how much cones should Kurt sell his ice cream for?
