There are two factors of production (capital and land), two goods (cars and wheat), and two countries (Krugland and Helpland). Both factors are used in the production of each good, but car production is relatively capital intensive and wheat production is relatively land intensive. Krugland is relatively capital abundant and Helpland is relatively land abundant.

a. Will Krugland’s output of cars increase or decrease? Briefly explain.
b. Will Krugland’s output of wheat increase or decrease? Briefly explain.
