Answer:

Explanation: Absolute advantage is when a producer can produce a good or service in greater quantity for the same cost, or the same quantity at a lower cost, than other producers.

Absolute advantage can be the basis for large gains from trade between producers of different goods with different absolute advantages.

By specialization, division of labor, and trade, producers with different absolute advantages can always gain more than producing in isolation.

Absolute advantage is related to comparative advantage, which can open up even more widespread opportunities for the division of labor and gains from trade.
