Question

If Shawn can produce donuts at a lower opportunity cost than Sue, then ____

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) Shawn has a comparative advantage in the production of donuts.

Explanation:

Shawn renounce to less goods than Sue when producing donuts.

This meas, Shawn has a comparative advantage in the production of donuts as their cost from the economic point of view are lower.

This do not imply that Sue cannot outproduce Shawn, it means it cost her more than Shawn

For example, if Sue produce 10 Donuts, but to produce donuts resing to produce 20 of other goods, each donut has an opportunity cost of 2

While Shawn can produce 8 donuts and resing to produce 8 of other goods:

each donut has an opportunity cost of 1

Therefore, is better for the overall economy to Shawn produce donuts and trade with Sue for the other good.
