"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

Answer:

Explanation:
An economic agent should specialise in the production of the good for which it has a comparative advantage in its production.
An economic agent has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other economic agents.
Anne's opportunity cost in pie production = 4/3=1.33
Anne's opportunity cost in shirt production = 3/4 = 0.75
Mary's opportunity cost in pie production = 5/2 = 2.5
Mary's opportunity cost in shirt production = 2/5 = 0.4
Anne has a comparative advantage in the production of pies and Mary has a comparative advantage in the production of shirts.
Anne should specialise in pie production and Mary should specialise in shirt production.
