Answer to Question 1

No. This simply means that Papa Ray has an absolute advantage in making pizza. This does not mean that he has a comparative advantage in making pizza. It is possible that the opportunity cost of his time is high (he could be out selling franchises, for example).

Answer to Question 2

A
