Edith Engineer travels from city to city to conduct her business. Every other year she buys a used car for about $12,000. The dealer allows about $8000 as a trade-in allowance, with the result that the saleswoman spends $4000 every other year for a car. Edith keeps accurate records, which show that all other expenses for her car amount to $0.223 per mile for each mile she drives. Edith's employer has two plans by which salespeople are reimbursed for their car. Method
A. She will receive all of her operating expenses, and in addition will receive $2000 each year for the decline in value of the automobile. Method
B. She will receive $0.32 per mile but no operating expenses and no depreciation allowance. If Edith travels 18,000 miles per year, which method of computation gives her the larger reimbursement

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”
