Question 1
Total weighted score of England = 0.1*4+0.6*1+0.2*2+0.1*1 = 1.5
Total weighted score of Canada = 0.1*4+0.6*1+0.2*3+0.1*4 = 2.0
Total weighred score of Canada is higher. So, Claudia should choose Canada
If weights are doubled, then also the total weighted score of both locations remain same. and Claudia should choose Canada as the best country for outsourcing
Doubling the weights has NO effect on the answer.
