Japan can use all of its resources to produce 100 videos or 400 shoes.China can use all of its resources to produce 25 videos or 200 shoes.Which nation has the comparative advantage in shoes and which nation has the comparative advantage in videos?
(71) 
VerifiedIn Japan,the opportunity cost of producing a video is 4 shoes and in China it is 8 shoes.Therefore Japan has the comparative advantage in producing videos because its opportunity cost is lower.In Japan,the opportunity cost of producing a shoe is 1/4 of a video and in China the opportunity cost of producing a shoe is 1/8 of a video.China has the comparative advantage in producing shoes because its opportunity cost is lower.

-Two nations can produce computers and software in the amounts given in the table above.Does either nation have an absolute advantage in producing the products? Which nation has a comparative advantage in computers? Which nation has a comparative advantage in software? Explain your answers.
-Two nations can produce computers and software in the amounts given in the table above.Does either nation have an absolute advantage in producing the products? Which nation has a comparative advantage in computers? Which nation has a comparative advantage in software? Explain your answers. (78) VerifiedNation B has an absolute advantage in producing both goods because it can produce more of both in one day than can Nation A.Nation B has the comparative advantage in computer production and Nation A has the comparative advantage in software.The nation with the lowest opportunity cost of producing a good has the comparative advantage in that good.In Nation A,to produce 100 computers has the opportunity cost of 140 units of software forgone,so the opportunity cost of 1 computer equals (140 units of software)/(100 computers)= 1.4 units of software per computer.In Nation B,similar calculations show that the opportunity cost for a computer is 1.25 units of software per computer.Nation B's opportunity cost is lower,so Nation B has the comparative advantage in computers.For software,in Nation A the opportunity cost of a unit of software is (100 computers)/(140 units of software)= 0.71 computers per unit of software while in Nation B the opportunity cost is (120 computers)/(150 units of software)= 0.80 computers per unit of software.Nation A's opportunity cost is lower,so Nation A has the comparative advantage in software.
