Suppose that Canada can produce 100,000 hockey sticks or 10,000 gallons of maple syrup in a typical workweek, while Germany can produce 90,000 hockey sticks or 10,000 gallons of maple syrup in a typical workweek. From these numbers, we can conclude:
A. Canada has a comparative advantage in the production of hockey sticks.
B. Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of hockey sticks.
C. Canada has an absolute advantage in the production of maple syrup.
D. Germany has an absolute advantage in the production of maple syrup.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Canada has a comparative advantage in the production of hockey sticks.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Canada

The Opportunity cost of Hockey is

= 10000 ÷ 100000

= 0.1 gallons of maple syrup

For Germany

The Opportunity cost of Hockey is

= 10000 ÷ 90000

= 0.11 gallons of maple syrup

So based on this, the option A is correct

And, the same is to be considered

Therefore all the other options would be wrong
