A simple table:

<fo:table>

<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>

<fo:table-header>
  <fo:table-cell>
    <fo:block font-weight="bold">Car</fo:block>
  </fo:table-cell>
  <fo:table-cell>
    <fo:block font-weight="bold">Price</fo:block>
  </fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-header>

<fo:table-body>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>Volvo</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>$50000</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>SAAB</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    <fo:table-cell>

    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>

</fo:table-and-caption>
