Analyzing Policy Choices for a Team
A manager is considering three different work policies for her team of three employees: Alex, Ben, and Chloe. The table below shows the weekly well-being score (out of 20) for each employee under each policy. A higher score indicates a better outcome for the employee.
| Policy | Alex's Score | Ben's Score | Chloe's Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Policy 1 (Full Office) | 15 | 12 | 18 |
| Policy 2 (Hybrid) | 17 | 12 | 19 |
| Policy 3 (Fully Remote) | 18 | 10 | 20 |
Analyze the three policies based on the principle that one outcome is superior to another if it makes at least one person better off without making anyone worse off. First, identify a policy that is dominated by another and explain precisely why this relationship exists, referencing the specific scores. Second, identify a pair of policies where neither dominates the other and explain why, again using the specific scores to support your reasoning.

Evaluating Project Outcomes
Consider the following possible distributions of a resource between two individuals, Person 1 and Person 2. The outcomes are represented as (Person 1's share, Person 2's share). Which of the following statements correctly identifies a situation where one outcome dominates another because at least one person is better off and no one is worse off?
Analyzing Resource Allocations
Consider different scenarios comparing two possible distributions of resources (allocations) between two individuals. The outcomes are shown as (Person 1's utility, Person 2's utility). Match each scenario with the correct relationship between the two allocations.
Consider two possible distributions of resources between two individuals, represented as (Person 1's utility, Person 2's utility). Allocation A is (20, 9) and Allocation B is (10, 10). Based on these outcomes, the statement 'Allocation A Pareto-dominates Allocation B' is true.
Constructing Superior Outcomes
Consider a situation involving two individuals, Priya and David. The table below shows five possible outcomes, with each outcome represented by a pair of numbers indicating the utility level for (Priya, David).
Outcome Priya's Utility David's Utility A 10 10 B 12 8 C 10 11 D 9 12 E 12 10 Given Outcome E (12, 10), which of the other outcomes in the table does it Pareto-dominate?
