1. Wendy can produce either 10 units of food or 5 units of cloth per day.
Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food = (5 units of cloth / 10 units of food)
Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food = 0.5 units of cloth per unit of food.
Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth = (10 units of food / 5 units of food)
Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth = 2 units of food per unit of cloth.
| Wendy's Opportunity Cost | |
| To get 1 more | Opportunity cost |
| Food | 0.5 units of cloth |
| Cloth | 2 units of food |
Calvin can produce either 3 units of food or 4 units of cloth.
Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food = (4 units of cloth / 3 units of food)
Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food = 1.33 units of cloth per unit of food.
Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth = (3 units of food / 4 units of cloth)
Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth = 0.75 units of food per unit of cloth
| Calvin's Opportunity Cost | |
| To get 1 more | Opportunity cost |
| Food | 1.33 units of cloth |
| Cloth | 0.75 units of food |
2. Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food is lower than Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of food. It means Wendy has comparative advantage in the production of food and should specialize in the production of food.
Calvin's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth is lower than Wendy's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cloth. It means Calvin has comparative advantage in the production of cloth and should specialize in the production of cloth.

Below, you are provided with Esteban's and Irene's Production Possibilities Frontiers between chicken empanadas and beef empanadas. You will use these PPFs to identify the opportunity cost of producing an additional empanada of each type for both individuals, to determine which individual has an absolute advantage in the production of each type of empanada, and to determine which individual has a comparative advantage in the production of each type of empanada. Part 1: Complete the...
