Suppose a Japanese company discovers a way to split its production process for televisions into two tasks: component production and assembly, and assembly can be offshored to Indonesia. Together, 0.8 units of production labor and 0.2 units of assembly labor are needed to produce 4 televisions. What is the cost in terms of swimsuits of producing 1 television with offshoring of assembly to Indonesia? How does this compare to the cost of producing 1 television with both production and assembly in Japan?

Now suppose all Japanese companies offshore assembly to Indonesia. What is the new total world production of televisions and swimsuits?
