Answer:

The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For England :

Opportunity cost of producing cloth

= (Units of cloth that can be produced) ÷ (Units of wine that can be produced )

= 200 ÷ 400

= 0.5 cloth per wine

For Portugal :

Opportunity cost of producing cloth

= (Units of cloth that can be produced) ÷ (Units of wine that can be produced )

= 200 ÷ 100

= 2 cloth per wine

Hence,

The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth
