B&K grocery store sells two types of soft drinks: the brand name A1 Cola and the cheaper store brand B&K cola. The margin of profit on the A1 Cola is about 5 cents per can, whereas the B&K Cola grosses 7 cents per can. On the average, the store sells no more than 500 cans of both colas a day. Although A1 is a better recognized name, customers tend to buy more of the B&K brand because it is considerably cheaper. It is estimated that the B&K brand outsells the A1 brand by a ratio of at least 2:1. However, B&K sells at least 100 cans of A1 a day. How many cans of each brand should the store carry daily to maximize the profit?

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
