Formula and methodology
Formula: A’s cost of one A=aGoodB/aGoodA; B’s cost of one A=bGoodB/bGoodA; reverse ratios give the cost of one B.
The result compares supplied production trade-offs; it does not predict prices, trade policy, wages, or welfare.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Producer A units of good A per period — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Producer A units of good B per period — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Producer B units of good A per period — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Producer B units of good B per period — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Producer A units of good A per period | 10 |
| Producer A units of good B per period | 20 |
| Producer B units of good A per period | 6 |
| Producer B units of good B per period | 18 |
A’s cost of good A =2; B’s =3; A has the lower cost for good A.
Assumptions and limits
- Each producer’s two outputs use the same period and resource basis.
- Production rates are positive and treated as a simplified opportunity-cost frontier.
- Transportation, specialization constraints, market prices, and distribution effects are not modeled.
