A firm can have a comparative advantage in producing shirts even if it does not have an absolute advantage. Comparative advantage refers to the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost compared to another producer, while absolute advantage refers to the ability to produce more of a good with the same resources compared to another producer. It's possible for a firm to have a comparative advantage in making a product despite another firm being able to produce that product more efficiently in absolute terms.
