Assume Nebraska and Virginia each have 100 acres of farmland. The following table gives hypothetical figures for yield per acre in the two states:

Nebraska Virginia
Wheat 5 2
Cotton 6 3

A) Who has the absolute advantage in the production of cotton? Who has the comparative advantage in the production of wheat?
