You have 5% of blue-eyed people in your company. The blue-eyed people did an internal research and found out that you never promote blue-eyed people, and as a consequence they earn less money than people with other eye color. They are pretty angry and threaten to file a lawsuit unless you do something about it.
That's ridiculous, let them sue me, I don't care.
>>>Set up an internal working group to investigate the claim further.
The working group has found out that blue-eyed people never actually applied for the promotion in the first place and that's why they never got it. They also claim your company isn't big enough to confidently say anything about the population of 5%. The case is dismissed. The investigation cost you $1,000.
Create a rule to always promote at least 5% blue-eyed people.

Blue-eyed people were happy with your decision. Yet you notice that blue-eyed people never actually applied for a promotion in the first place, and that was likely the reason for the lack of promotions for them. On top of that people with different eye color feel that it's unfair to promote people taking into consideration their eye color, current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%.

Slightly off topic, but trying to learn real life stuff. For the “party bet” PA quest, how is it 42c cheaper? It takes 3 waters to make one sausage, so 30c cheaper would be my answer, but that’s obviously not a choice. What am I missing? (If there’s even a real life equivalent to this”

(If there’s even a real life equivalent to this” You are missing that it states self-production. You need 3xWater + 2xGrain For grain you need 0.5Water+1Seed For seed you need 0.1Water.
Soo, going back, for grain you need 0.5Water + 0.1Water(from seed) = 0.6 Water. For 2 grain you will need 1.2Water For sausage, 3+1.2 = 4.2 water per unit of sausage.

(If there’s even a real life equivalent to this” @above gave a perfect answer, but essentially, you have to consider the water needed for grain. As the quest states, "[we are] assuming we produce everything else by ourselves and all other factors being equal" |

This option has the following result:
Sir, the replacement hire required some training which cost us additional $5,000, but what's even worse is that everyone is now afraid to make mistakes and works slowly, current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%.
It's worse than the 2nd option, let alone the last one.

A worker in one of your facilities made a mistake that has cost us $30,000. Boss, what should we do?
Fire her! Dammit, these people ...
Sir, the replacement hire required some training which cost us additional $5,000, but what's even worse is that everyone is now afraid to make mistakes and works slowly, current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%
Deduct that from her salary, that'll teach her.
Sir, everyone is now afraid to make mistakes and works slowly, current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%.
Call her in, I will chat with her.
After talking to her, she have expressed how sorry she was, and suggested several improvements in the business process to avoid similar mistakes in the future. This story has spread, people are happy to work at your company and became more proactive about improving existing business processes. You lost $30,000, but we have 5% increase of the current production and 2.5% increase in retail. You made the last option purple, however if your production had a low value option 2 is preferred With a lvl1 farms you produce oranges of a total sell value of $ 280 an hour. With 10 lvl 2 plants that is 280 x 20 x 48= 269.000. Option 2 cost us: 5% of sell value. $ 13.450 Option 3 cost us 30.000, compensated by 5% of sell value ($ 13.450). So in total it costs us 16.550. In this case I prefer the second option. The break even point is at the total sales value of production of $300.000. |

The third option was in purple because everyone in chat recommended that answer, I'll add your explanation to the guide so that others could be more informed if you don't mind. thanks! |

Boss, your CTO is here: I have identified 2 production units we can upgrade, upkeep for the first one is $5/hour and I can make it run for $4/hour which is saves us 20% of the cost! The seconds one costs $20/hour to run, and I can make it run for $18/hour, which saves us 10% of the upkeep! We can only upgrade one of them, which one should we chose?
The second one
Boss, the upgrade was effective for 100 days, with $2 savings per hour, it is $4,800 of profit. I think this was the right choice, the other option would have saved us only half as much.

Boss, there is a conference coming up where we can potentially reach 10,000 new customers, each worth $21 if they convert buying our product. What marketing materials should we prepare for our stall? It's either: a set of souvenirs worth $10 each with estimated 50% chance to convert the customer; or we can prepare a set of leaflets worth $5 each and a set of brochures worth $5 each and each has estimated 25% chance to convert the potential customer.
Prepare the souvenirs, 50% conversion
The souvenirs cost $100,000 to make, but we made 10,000 times 50% times $21 = $105,000 from sales, pocketing the difference.

Got a PA quest that isn't in the list yet:
Boss, sales department sees opportunities in selling at the millionaires fair this week. What do you think?
Good idea, send them with 5 watches and 5 necklaces.
Great idea! send them with 10 watches and 10 necklaces
Sorry, I don't think that is a good idea.
I chose the 10/10 option, and the response was:
They sold it for $40,000!
