Answer to Question 1

Capital is those goods produced by the economic system that are used as inputs in the production of future goods and services. Investment is a flow and capital is stock. Investment increases the stock of capital.

Answer to Question 2

It might be a mistake if it turns out that the secretary had a comparative advantage in typing over the lawyer. In other words it is very likely and possible that the secretary and type at a lower opportunity cost than the lawyer. By firing the secretary he has confused absolute advantage with comparative advantage.
