Answer:

The answer is 27 hours

Explanation:

Solution

The Comparative advantage depends on  production of the lower opportunity cost

The opportunity cost of a production is =maximum production of other good /maximum production of the good

Now,

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town A =10/4=2.5

Thus,

The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town B=6/10=0.6

So,

The  town B has a comparative advantage in hot dog buns and A in sausages

Town A will produce-only sausages and it will take the time of  

time in hours =total required a quantity of the good /number of products in an hour

Now,

The time for Town A for sausages=120/10=12 hours

The time for Town B for hot dog buns=120/8=15 hours

Therefore, The total time =12+15=27 hours.
