Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

France can produce four phones or three computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                      = 0.75 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                      = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce one phone or two computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                      = 2 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                      = 0.5 phones

Therefore,

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than Sweden. France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden.

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than France. Sweden should specialize in producing computers and import phones from France.
