If you want to skip the lesson and just practice go to 10:48. I spend the first have of the video explaining how to identify which country has an absolute advantage, calculate opportunity cost, identify which country has a comparative advantage, and find a terms of trade that both countries would voluntarily agree to. The second half of the video is an additional practice questions where I quickly go over the answers. I also added the answers below if you are in a hurry. Thank you for watching, please subscribe.
