Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of olives for each pair of jeans it exports to France. Based on your answers to the previous question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of jeans) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade? a. 1 pair of jeans per crate of olives b. 2 pairs of jeans per crate of olives c. 16 pairs of jeans per crate of olives d. 7 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
