In this video, we take a slightly different approach to determining comparative advantage because we are given data in a slightly different way. Rather than knowing how much of two goods can be produced in a day, we know how much of a resources (in this case labor) is needed to produce one unit of a good.

*input table = working hours per day for agent, working hours per item for agent
*output table = work amount daily / work amount item
*oc. table, find comparative advantage

thank you

[@sayanichowdhury4064]

i don't understand why this video is soo underrated !!!

[@alexandrubirghilescu170]

Getting the opportunity cost has NOTHING to do with the amount of hours worked if all workers work the same hours

[@SJay-ez9fw]

for these questions can you always assume that there are 8 worker hours in a day?

[@mohamedatiqgulamhussein4907]

You are smart!

[@peterhagtharp4263]

If you assume your results become less reliable. So try your best to make sure that's the case.

[@wishmiwickramanayaka2846]

can i know why are we assuming 8 hours?

[@denzelcounts7036]

Labor laws

Thx for showing me this I like math so thx for showing this to me 😀😀😀😀

[@akilaweerasuriya899]

So you mean if the question is given in terms of input covert it into output and then create the opportunity cost table?
Don’t you have a direct way of getting opportunity cost from the input table itself?

To find the O.C for toy cars if is an input, you can divide the # of toy cars by the # of belts, whereas if is an output, you divide the # of belts by the # of toy cars..
