should specialise in the production of …
a. cars; computers.
b. computers; cars.
c. both cars and computers;
d. some other product;
Comparative advantage is associated with the opportunity cost that is forgone.
Nation 2 has an absolute advantage over the production of both goods. However,
nation 1 should produce computers and nation 2 should produce cars due to the
opportunity cost that is forgone when producing computers.
Calculate the opportunity costs of production as follows:
Nation 1: Opportunity cost of producing cars only is: 120800=0.15
Opportunity cost of producing computers only is: 800120=6.67
Nation 2: Opportunity cost of producing cars only is: 2501200=0.21
Opportunity cost of producing computers only is: 1200250=4.8 12
Based on these calculations, each nation should specialise in the production of a
good in which the opportunity costs are relatively lower. Therefore, nation 1 should
produce cars, while nation 2 should produce computers.
Question 3
Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
