The diagram below shows the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for a country that produces guns (G) and butter (B). Most people in the country prefer guns, so in the absence of international trade, point A represents the combination of G and B that maximizes welfare. The slope of the PPF at point A is equal to -2.  Over the long run, do you think this country would be better off by shifting its production towards guns or butter? Please identify the most efficient production point in the PPF with trade. What would be the ratio of the prices at that point?
