Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) As a more technologically advanced country, you would expect a Scottish facility to be less labor intensive and more productive per worker than a Mexican facility, making "greater productivity and higher labor cost" the correct response. Both choices regarding lower productivity can be ruled out because they indicate lower productivity. "Greater productivity but lower labor cost per worker" is not a correct response because it identifies lower, not higher, labor costs per worker.
