Answer: The opportunity cost of an item is what you give up to get that item. In this case, Pat's opportunity cost of making a pizza is the amount of root beer she gives up brewing. Making a pizza takes her 2 hours; if instead she spent her time producing root beer, she would produce 2 gal * (1 gal rb/ 4 hrs)=1/2 gallon . Similar calculations yield an opportunity cost of 2/3 gallons of root beer for one pizza for Kris.

Pat Correct has an absolute advantage in making pizza, and Pat Correct has a comparative advantage in making pizza

The one common factor among, Iraq, Libya and North Korea was that all of these were ruled by one family who were able to maintain strict control over the local population.

Even during economic upheavals, the strong one-party/family control ensured that the country endured.
