Jayvon Medina · Answer 2

A: No. We don't know who has an absolute advantage at oil changing - the problem doesn't say.

B. Yes. John specializes in whatever he does, and the oil company specializes in changing oil, and both benefit.

C. No. There are no restrictions on trade in this case.

D. No. Opportunity cost is a factor in the problem, but it's increasing, not decreasing.
