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

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
