Answer:

B. Switzerland has the comparative advantage in watches.

Explanation:

Comparative Advantage is when an economy can produce a commodity with comparatively less opportunity cost in terms of other good sacrifised, than other economy.

It can also be denoted as an economy's more relative productivity in consumption, compared to other economy.

                       Watch         Chocolate

Switzerland       1                    50

Germany           1                    100

Switzerland can produce a watch by sacrifising lesser units of chocolate i.e 50,  than Germany - which sacrifises 100 watches chocolates for a watch production.

Switzerland is 0.02 (1/50) times productive in watch than chocolate. Germany is lesser i.e 0.01 (1/100) time productive in watch than chocolate. Also, Germany is more productive in chocolate than watch 100X > 50X.

So, Switzerland has comparative advantage in Watches & Germany in Chocolate.

What are the three most critical components that a marketer needs to examine to segment a market effectively?
Georgia [21]
1. Identifiability (and measurability)
2. Accessibility
3. Responsiveness

1. Identifiability
    - the target market must be identifiable to determine which of the
      consumers belong to the segment. The target market must be well-
      defined and measurable, particularly in terms of population, income, and
      age bracket. 

2. Accessibility
    - this refers to the ease of reaching the identified market segment in terms
      of geography and economy with appropriate market strategies. 

3. Responsiveness
    - the target market should be evaluated if they will respond (i.e. purchase)
      the products and services created for them. There is little point in
      identifying a market, creating a product, and developing marketing
      strategies if the consumers themselves see little value in what is being
      offered to them. Thus, the products and services must meed the
      consumers' or organizations' needs.
