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:

The answer is: It will increase.

Explanation:

According to the law of supply and demand, when the price of an specific good or service decreases, the quantity demanded for that good or service will increase.

For example, if the price for a movie ticket is $10, 100 people will go to the movies. If the movie theater starts a promotion and lowers the price for movie tickets to $6, many more customers will be willing to go the movies.
