The countries of orion and scorpius are small mountainous nations. both produce granite and blueberries. each nation has a labor force of 800. the table below gives production per month for each worker in each country. assume productivity is constant and identical for each worker in each country.
tons of granite bushels of blueberies
orion workers 6 9
scorpius workers 3 7

(1) has a comparative advantage in the production of granite
(2) has a comparative advantage in the production of blueberies.

Orion has a comparative advantage in the production of granite .

Scorpius has a comparative advantage in the production of Blueberries.

Explanation:

We have the relative cost for Orion of producing one Ton of Granite is: 9/6 = 1.5 Bushels of Blueberries, while the relative cost for Scorpius of producing one ton of Granite is : 7/3 = 2.33 Bushels of Blueberries. Thus, Orion has comparative advantage of producing Granite.

We have the relative cost for Orion of producing one Bushels of Blueberries is: 6/9 = 0.67 ton of granite, while the relative cost for Scorpius of producing one Bushels of Blueberries is : 3/7 = 0.43 ton of granite. Thus, Scorpius has comparative advantage of producing Blueberries.

a is the correct answer, tell me if im right

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
