Answer:

Justification might include:
- Tianna should be employed to be the chef at the new vegan restaurant. She is fully qualified and will not take as long to be trained and working to produce franchise meals. Vea is not suitable as she is only part-qualified and will take a lot longer at 10 weeks before she can start to work in the restaurant which may delay the opening.
- Vea should be employed as she is a lot cheaper to employ than Tianna at \$8 per hour giving a lower waae cost of \(\$ 320\) per week.
