Eddie and Dave both produce guitars and tubas. They produce a given amount
of each per month as seen in the tables above. Given the production
possibilities curves of each individual above, answer the following:
Who has the absolute advantage in the production of guitars?
Dave, because he produces 25 guitars compared to Eddie's 32 guitars
Eddie, because he produces 32 guitars compared to Dave's 25 guitars
Eddie, because he produces 8 tubas compared to Dave's 5 tubas
Eddie, because his opportunity cost is only 4 guitars
Eddie, because his opportunity cost is only 0.25 tubas
Dave, because he produces 5 tubas compared to Eddie's 8 tubas

Eddie and Dave both produce guitars and tubas. They produce a given amount
of each per month as seen in the tables above. Given the production
possibilities curves of each individual above, answer the following:
Who has the absolute advantage in the production of tubas?
Dave, because he must sacrifice 5 guitars to produce an extra
tuba compared to Dave's sacrifice of 4 guitars
Both since each must sacrifice 1 more tuba to move to the next point on the
production possibilities curve
Eddie, because he produces 8 tubas compared to Dave's 5 tubas
Eddie, because he must sacrifice 4 guitars to produce an extra
tuba compared to Dave's sacrifice of 5 guitars
Dave, because he produces 5 tubas compared to Dave's 8 tubas
ONeither has an absolute advantage in the production of tubas
