While studying for the engineering economy final exam, you and two friends find yourselves craving a fresh pizza. you can't spare the time to pick up the pizza and must have it delivered. "pick-up-sticks" offers a 1-1/4-inch-thick (including toppings), 20-inch square pizza with your choice of two toppings for $15 plus 5% sales tax and a $1.50 delivery charge (no sales tax on delivery charge). "fred's" offers the round, deep-dish sasquatch, which is 20 inches in diameter. it is 1-3/4 inches thick, includes two toppings, and costs $17.25 plus 5% sales tax and free delivery. 1. what is the problem in this situation? state it in an explicit and precise manner. 2. systematically apply the seven principles of engineering economy (pp. 3-6) to the problem you have defined in part (a). 3. assuming that your common unit of measure is dollars (i.e., cost), what is the better value for getting a pizza based on the criterion of minimizing cost per unit of volume? 4. what other criteria might be used to select which pizza to purchase?

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”
