1. Opportunity cost of one unit of wheat in Arboc = Total coffee sacrificed in Arboc/Total wheat produced in Arboc = 100/50 = 2 units of coffee
2. Opportunity cost of one unit of wheat in Arbez = Total coffee sacrificed in Arbez/Total wheat produced in Arbez = 90/30 = 3 units of coffee
3. As opportunity cost of one unit of wheat in Arboc is less than opportunity cost of one unit of wheat in Arbez, so Arboc has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.
4. Opportunity cost of one unit of coffee in Arboc = Total wheat sacrificed in Arboc/Total coffee produced in Arboc = 50/100 = 0.5 units of wheat
5. Opportunity cost of one unit of coffee in Arbez = Total wheat sacrificed in Arbez/Total coffee produced in Arbez = 30/90 = 0.33 units of wheat
6. As opportunity cost of one unit of coffee in Arbez is less than opportunity cost of one unit of coffee in Arboc, so Arbez has a comparative advantage in the production of coffee.
