Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Kathy's opportunity cost of painting a picture is two caricatures. Amy's opportunity cost of painting a picture is one caricature. Amy has a comparative advantage in painting and Kathy has a comparative advantage in doing caricatures. They could increase output by specializing in producing the goods for which they have a comparative advantage.
