Answer:
chad
neither
chad
Italy
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of grain = 25/10 = 2.5 dates
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates
A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.
