GRE Argument Topic 65

Topic:

The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of a large, highly diversified company.

"Ten years ago our company had two new office buildings constructed as regional headquarters for two regions. The buildings were erected by different construction companies — Alpha and Zeta. Although the two buildings had identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build. However, that building's expenses for maintenance last year were only half those of Alpha's. In addition, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been lower than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction. Given these data, plus the fact that Zeta has a stable workforce with little employee turnover, we recommend using Zeta rather than Alpha for our new building project, even though Alpha's bid promises lower construction costs."

موارد زیر در یادداشتی از معاون رئیس یک شرکت بزرگ و بسیار متنوع آمده است.

"ده سال پیش شرکت ما دو ساختمان اداری جدید داشت که به عنوان پایگاه های ناحیه ایی برای دو منطقه ساخته شده است. ساختمانها توسط شرکتهای مختلف ساختمانی - آلفا و زتا احداث شده اند. اگرچه دو ساختمان دارای نقشه طبقات مشابه بودند، هزینه ساخت ساختمان زتا 30٪ بیشتر بود. با این حال، هزینه های نگهداری آن ساختمان در سال گذشته فقط نیمی از هزینه های آلفا بود. بعلاوه، مصرف انرژی ساختمان Zeta از زمان ساخت آن هر ساله کمتر از ساختمان آلفا است. با توجه به این داده ها، علاوه  بر این واقعیت که زتا دارای نیروی کار پایدار با جابجایی کم کارمندان است، توصیه می کنیم از زتا به جای آلفا برای پروژه ساختمان جدید خود استفاده کنید، حتی اگر آلفا هزینه های ساخت کمتری را پیشنهاد دهد. "
