Level B A big corporation is moving to
Silicon Valley in California. A
number of employees located
on the East Coast will be
transferring to the new site in
Silicon Valley. The company
always gives a housing
allowance to transferred
employees. The housing
allowance is half of the
"typical house price" in the
region. The company surveyed
the housing prices in the area.
The house prices are listed
below:
5625,000 $590,000 $460,000 $790,000 $425,000 $1,050,000
$495.000 $740,000 $495,000 $405,000 $860,000 $580,000
$580,000 $575,000 $550,000 $495,000 $1,285,000 $350,000
Determine a single measure that best represents the home prices. Consider
different stakeholders such as the Financial Manager who wants to maintain a
budget, the Human Resources Director who wants to recruit employees to transfer
and the employee himself who will be moving into the new house. For each
stakeholder, which single measure should be used to determine the housing
allowance?
Display your results in a graphic form that best defends your decision for each of
the three stakeholders. Write a statement that justifies each decision.

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”
