    The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    For England:

    Opportunity cost of producing cloth

    = (Units of cloth that can be produced) : (Units of wine that can be produced)

    = 200 : 400

    = 0.5 cloth per wine

    For Portugal:

    Opportunity cost of producing cloth

    = (Units of cloth that can be produced) : (Units of wine that can be produced)

    = 200 : 100

    = 2 cloth per wine

    Hence,

    The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth
