Opportunity cost?

if canada can produce 1000 apples or 500 oranges. what is the opportunity cost of 1 orange...would that be 2 apples??

if the USA can produce 750 apples or 1875 oranges. what is the opportunity cost of 1 orange...would that be 0.4 apples??

would USA have the comparitave advantage in producing apples then? just looking to clarify my answers.. thanks you!!

Answer:
Yes! from your level, the USA do hv that C advantage over Canada in respect of the two commodities under consideration but when you proceed technically and factor in other variables, the advantage becomes nonsensical.
1)yes
2)yes
3)No, oranges
