Consider the following information about the production of two goods, X and Y, in two countries, A and B:

•	In Country A it takes Xa units of resources to produce one unit of X and Ya units of resources

to produce one unit of Y.

•	In Country B it takes Xb units of resources to produce one unit of X and Yb units of resources

to produce one unit of Y.

•	Assume the amount of resources used to produce the goods in the two countries can be

compared unambiguously.

TABLE 19-1

Refer to Table 19-1. If Xa is less than Xb, we can conclude with certainty that
◦ the opportunity cost of producing good X in Country A is less than in Country B.
◦ Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of good X.
◦ the opportunity cost of producing good X in Country A is higher than in Country B.
◦ the price of good X in Country A is less than the price in Country B.
◦ Country A has an absolute advantage in the production of good X.
