Answer:

True

Explanation:

A person has comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other people.

A person has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service If he produces more quantity of the good when compared with other people

To calculate comparative advantage, first find the opportunity cost:

Opportunity cost of timmy editing = 80/2=40 words

Opportunity cost of timmy typing = 2 / 80 = 0.025

Opportunity cost of oliva editing = 100/1= 100

Opportunity cost of oliva typing = 1/100=0.01

Olivia has a comparative advantage in typing while timmy has a comparative advantage in editing.

Olivia types more words than timmy, therefore she has an absolute advantage in typing.

Timmy edits more pages than oliva, Therefore, he has am absolute advantage in editing.

I hope my answer helps you

kogti [31]

<u>Answer</u>: Certain brand names, such as Kleenex or Xerox, have become generic name.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Generic name is the term used to refer a product with its brand name rather than the product itself. Kleenex  and Xerox are the brand names of the products. Xerox is photocopying product and Kleenex is the brand name for wet wipes. People commonly use the word Kleenex instead of tissues or wet wipes.

This process can be called as genericization and companies loose their trademarks due to these usage of names. These generic names have wide spread popularity.
