3 0

Absolute advantage is the ability to produce a good using fewer inputs than another producer, while comparative advantage is the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another producer (reflecting the relative opportunity cost). One key difference is that one person can have an absolute advantage in both goods, but it is impossible for one person to have a comparative advantage in both goods due to the opportunity cost of a product being the inverse of the opportunity cost of the other.

Answer:

$2,560,000

Explanation:

impairment loss = division's book value - division's fair market value = $3,080,000 - $2,320,000 = $760,000

Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated, but they must be recorded at lower value between carrying cost and fair market value. Since the fair market value is lower than carrying value, then an impairment loss results.

loss on discontinued operations = loss from operations 2019 + impairment loss = $1,800,000 + $760,000 = $2,560,000
