Chloe and Ann are working on a project that requires both drawing and writing. Chloe writes better than she draws, so she gives up the drawing part to Ann. What is the comparative advantage in this case?

Question

anonymous · Answer

The question seems to imply that Chloe has a comparative advantage in writing (and, thus, Ann has a comparative advantage at drawing). However, in order to definitely say that Chloe had a comparative advantage at drawing you would need to have information regarding how much writing each girl could accomplish per unit of drawing output (for example, how much each girl could write per page drawn), etc.
