Transcribed Image Text:15. Consider the case of two countries, Mauritius and South Africa, both producing rum and cloth. If all resources are fully

worker in South Africa can produce 320 units of rum or 40m of cloth per week.

Mauritius has a comparative advantage in the production of cloth.
South Africa should export cloth to Mauritius.
