Answer:

1) You should go home and watch TV.

Explanation:

Since you value seeing the play $10, then you should leave the theater and go to your house to watch TV since that has a higher value for you ($12).

We are talking about opportunity costs here. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case the opportunity costs are:

  • watch the play = $10
  • watch TV = $12
  • read a book = $8

Since watching TV is more valuable to you, then that is what you should be doing.

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce.  This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.

Explanation:

Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace.  Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances.  This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures.  In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.
