Absolute Advantage: faster, more, more efficient 
Individual: exists when a person can produce more of a certain good/service than someone else in the same amount of time. 
National: exists when a country can produce more of a good/service than another country can in the same time period. 

Comparative Advantage: lower opportunity cost

Output Problems:
The country that can produce the most has the absolute advantage. The country that has the lowest opportunity cost has the comparative advantage in that product. Deals with production.
