Expert Solution

Step 1

Absolute advantage in international trade refers to the fact that a country can produce any particular good in more quantity or at cheaper cost in absolute terms when compared with any other country .

Comparative advantage compares the opportunity cost of production of any particular good rather than absolute cost and the country with lesser opportunity cost in production of any good has comparative advantage in production of that good .
