The correct answer is Zenobia, 5 computers.

Explanation:

Solution

Let us recall that:

Zenobia produces an amount of = 4 ships or 20 computers in a week

Azarmidok produces an amount = 10 ships or 12 computers per week

Now,

The next step to take id to determine which of the country has the largest opportunity cost to manufacture a ship and the opportunity cost of that country

Thus,

We solve first for the country of Zenobia which is given below:

Zenobia has 4 ships or 2o computers

So

We divide them both which is shown below:

20/4 = 5 computers

For Azarmidok they have 10 ships or 12 computers

which is given as,

12/10 = 1.2 Computers

Therefore the country that has the better or largest opportunity cost is the country of Zenobia
