Answer:
a.Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.
Explanation:
A country has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
A person has an absolute advantage in production if it produces more quantities of the good when compared with other countries.
Georgeland produces more quantities of both food and clothes when compared to Alland, so it has absolute advantage in both activities .
The opportunity cost of georgeland in producing clothes = 36 / 18=2
The opportunity cost of georgeland producing food = 18 / 36 = 0.5
For Alland,
the opportunity cost of producing clothes = 32 / 16= 2
the opportunity cost of producing food = 16 / 32 = 0.5
Neither countries don't have a comparative advantage in the production of either clothes of food bedside they have the same opportunity costs in both activities.
