Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

A country or a producer has an absolute advantage in producing a commodity if it uses the lower quantity of inputs than the other country  or a producer for producing the same amount of goods.

For example;

Suppose there are two countries; Japan and china.

Each are producing 5 packets of bread.

Japan produces these packets of bread with 4 labor hours and china produces these packets of bread with 2 labor hours.

So in this case, China has an absolute advantage because it produces the same quantity of goods with the fewer inputs.

A country has a absolute advantage in producing a commodity if the resources required to produce a unit of commodity is less than the other country.

An absolute advantage

Correct option is C.

The producer that requires a smaller quantity of inputs to produce a certain amount of a good, relative to the quantities of inputs required by other producers that "has an absolute advantage in the production of that good."

Absolute advantage concentrates on the marginal cost of reproduction of an asset whereas comparative advantage characteristically concentrates on the opportunity cost of production.
