Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rosa's opportunity cost of one basketball is the amount of footballs she could have produced in the same amount of time. Since she can produce two footballs per hour, her opportunity cost of one basketball is two-thirds of a football.

Answer: Dirk should produce footballs and Rosa should produce basketballs. 
 Dirk has a comparative advantage in producing footballs, as he can produce four footballs per hour compared to Rosa's two footballs. Rosa has a comparative advantage in producing basketballs, as she can produce six basketballs per hour compared to Dirk's three basketballs. By specializing and trading, both Rosa and Dirk can maximize their total output.
