Cashews and Mushrooms Production

                                                       You                                                  Neighbor 

                                         Cashews        Mushrooms             Cashews          Mushrooms 

Only gather cashews:      12 pounds          0 pounds                 5 pounds            0 pounds 

Only gather mushrooms:    0 pounds          6 pounds                 0 pounds            5 pounds 

 Right now, you each split your time between gathering each product. You currently gather and consume eight pounds of cashews and two pounds of mushrooms, while your neighbor is gathering and consuming three pounds of cashews and one pound of mushrooms. Show numerically how specialization and trade with each other can make you better off. Who specializes in the production of each product, and what trade could you then make with each other that would benefit both of you? Explain your answers.
