Answer to Question 1

Yes, it is possible for Betty to have an absolute advantage in the production of cakes and cookies. This simply means that she is able to produce more per hour. However, Betty cannot have a comparative advantage in producing both cakes and cookies. Because the opportunity cost of producing a cookie is the reciprocal of the opportunity cost of making a cake, it is impossible to have the lower opportunity cost of each.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
