ImI'm pretty sound with the concept behind comparative advantage, but still dontdon't get how to calculate the exchange rate in terms of quantities of each products being exchanged, e.g. 1 apple for 2 cars etc. Could someone please elucidate

Specifically: when two counties, preferably with an exampleeach having two separate comparative advantages in producing two separate goods, wish to exchange these goods, how will the exchange quantity/rate be calculated? Many thanks.

I guess the suggested title will be more appropriate as well as the international-trade tag.
