Explanation:

Comparative advantage describes the ability of an enterprise to produce a particular product, goods, or services at a lower price in comparison to rivals. It means that the enterprise uses fewer inputs such as labor, capital, or land to produce. A company with a comparative advantage will manufacture more goods with the same quantity of inputs.

Company A produces rakes at $15 while company B produces at $17.  Company A, therefore, has a comparative advantage over company B in the production of rakes. It means company A use fewer resources rakes than company B. Company A can sell rakes at a lower price than company B.
