An Arizona State University student spends his summer months in his hometown. He attends the local community college, where he takes summer courses that he knows will transfer back to ASU. Although he finds the courses just as challenging as at his regular university, he does not worry about his summer grades affecting his 3.2 (out of 4.0) grade point average, because ASU accepts only the transfer credits. As long as he receives C grades or better, he maintains his current grade point average. Which theory suggests that the student will work only as hard as necessary to earn a C grade?

The theory that suggests the student will work only as hard as necessary to earn a C grade is: expectancy theory.

Explanation:

Expectancy Theory is related to motivation and behavior. According to it, people choose a certain behavior instead of others only when motivated by the outcome brought by that behavior. Applying it to the scenario we are analyzing here: the student does not see any advantages in working hard to achieve grades higher than C. Higher grades will not change the outcome, so there is no reason to spend more time and energy to get them. Thus, he chooses the behavior that he feels motivated enough to perform.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
