The governor has proposed to clean up all the trash on the side of the highway. The project is estimated to cost the tax payers and additional $15,000. The city will benefit by having a clean highway which will entice tourists to stop along their routes. The project is estimated to bring in $12,000 of revenue from the highway being cleaned. Should the governor continue with the project

Answer:

No, the project will not bring in enough benefit to cover the costs.

Explanation:

In a project or business enterprise there is a need to do a cost-revenue analysis with the aim of maximising profit.

If the revenue generated by a project is more than the cost, then it is viable and profitable.

However if the revenue is less than cost then the project will not be sustainable.

In the given scenario the clean up project is estimated to cost the tax payers an additional $15,000.

The city will have an estimated revenue of $12,000 from the highway being cleaned.

As the revenue is less than the cost it is better to discontinue the project.

Organizations face myriad barriers and obstacles to effectively increasing and embracing diversity in their workplaces. Some of these barriers stem from people in the organization who are resistant to changing the organization to make it more diverse. This activity is important because resistance to this type of change is an attitude that managers will come up against frequently, and managers should be able to recognize when this occurs so that they can manage the organization and its employees through this challenging but very important type of change.
The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the barriers to diversity.
