Germany produces 600 cell phones and 2,660 digital music players. The opportunity cost of producing 1 cell phone is (2,660/600) 4.43 digital music players and the opportunity cost of producing 1 digital music player is (600/2,660)= 0.23 cell phones.

In one hour of labor, Taiwan can produce 22 cell phones. Using 500 labor hours (500*22) 11,000 cell phones can be produced. If Taiwan trades 600 cell phones for 600 digital music players then it will be left with 10,400 cell phones.
