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.

This brings economies of scope and would lower the total operating cost of company. Hence the <u>Option A</u> which says that economies of scope does add value to the company is the right option.
Option B is not preferable option as the option of investing in different businesses is choosen in the option A.
Option C is again the same as Option B and the difference is that it uses the word several unrelated businesses instead of comprehensive business portfolio which is the same thing. Hence <u>Option C</u> is also not preferable option here.
<u>Option D</u> is incorrect because when we acquire an organization it is the move of increase in risk portfolio because acquisitions are mostly not a sound investments and not a part of diversification strategy as the company is putting all the eggs in the single basket.
