Answer:
Option E
Explanation:
Absolute advantage means that with the same input one country is able to produce more goods and services as compared to the other.
As we can see, Germany is able to produce 40 tons of steel with the same inputs as that of South Korea.
In the same way, Germany is able to produce 10 personal computers with the same inputs as that of South Korea.

Option E is correct
Answer:
Allocated overhead= $1,430,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $3,750,000 (250,000 hours at $15/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,550,000 for the current period.
The records show that there had been 230,000 hours of direct labor.
Using direct labor hours as a base.
Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manfacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined overhead rate= 1555000/250000= $6.22 per hour
Allocated overhead= Predetermined overhead rate*actual hours= 6.22* 230000= $1,430,600
