Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

When countries produce according to the law of comparative advantage, and then trade, the consumption possibilities expand for all countries involved. This is because producing goods for which a country has a comparative advantage means that goods are produced at the lowest relative opportunity cost, thus freeing resources for the production of more goods. Even if a country has an absolute advantage, it will still gain from trade, because it is comparative, not absolute, advantage that determines which countries should produce which goods.
