Amazing Electronics Distributors wishes to select a new location for its first European warehouse. The location will be selected from the set of four potential candidate countries. The five KSF ratings were evaluated on the basis of a 1-to-5 rating system, where 1 means least desirable.

The first two KSF ratings are each given a mathematical weight of 0.1, and the remaining three KSFs are equally weighted at 0.05. What is the best country for the new warehouse? What is the second-best choice, and why?
