Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute advantage simply means when an economic entity such as individuals or the firms can produce a particular good more efficiently than others who produce similar good. In this case, a larger quantity is produced when compared to others.

Comparative advantage is when an economic agent can actually produce goods at an opportunity cost that's lower than the opportunity cost of its competitors. Due to this, such economic agent can sell its good at a cheaper price than others and therefore make more revenue.
