Q and Z's PPFs    12. Q's comparative advantage is in MP3 Player, so it would specialize in them and trade them to Z for coffee.

   The opportunity cost of a bag of coffee in Z is 1/2 MP3 Player, so the best terms Q could negotiate would be at these terms of trade, or .5 MP3 Player for each bag of coffee (or 1 MP3 Player for 2 bags of coffee).
