Explanation:

here is an explanation and solution to your question

For Euphoria:

The opportunity cost of producing a unit of rye in terms of jeans =20/5 = 4

for contente:

The opportunity cost of producing a unit of rye in terms of jeans = 16/8 = 2

opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of jean in terms of unit of rye:

for euphoria = 5/20 = 1/4

for contente = 8/16 = 1/2

Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing a a bushel of rye is 4 pairs of jeans.

contentes opportunity cost of producing a bushel of rye is 2 pairs of jeans.

euphoria has comparative advantage in jeans production

contente produces 8 bushels of rye so with 4 million hours of labor = 8x4 = 32 million bushels in a week.

euphoria 20 pairs of jean in a week, using 4 million hours of labor. 20x4 = 80 pairs of jean a week
