Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
A person has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other people
Darnell produces more quantities of Barley and Alfafa when compared to Eleanor. Darnell has a comparative advantage in the production of both commodities
Darnell's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of alfalfa = Barley produced / alfalfa produced = 40 / 8 = 5
Eleanor's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of alfalfa = 28 /7 = 4
Eleanor has a lower opportunity cost in producing alfalfa, thus she has a comparative advantage in producing alfalfa and Darnel has a comparative advantage in the production of barley
