CORN (Bushels)
has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and
Eric's PPF
Ginny's PPF
(?)
has an absolute advantage in the production of rye.
Eric's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is
bushels of corn, whereas Ginny's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is
bushels of corn. Because Eric has a
opportunity cost of producing rye than Ginny,
has a comparative advantage in
the production of rye, and
has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
