Answer:

Comparative advantages result form lower opportunity costs.

  • France's opportunity cost of producing steel instead of TVs = 60 / 40 = 1.5 TVs per ton of steel
  • France's opportunity cost of producing TVs instead of steel = 40 / 60 = 0.67  tons of steel per TV

  • Japan's opportunity cost of producing steel instead of TVs = 10 / 20 = 0.5 TVs per ton of steel
  • Japan's opportunity cost of producing TVs instead of steel = 20 / 10 = 1  tons of steel per TV

France has a comparative advantage in the production of TVs (0.67 < 1), but Japan has a comparative advantage in the production of steel (0.5 < 1.5)
