In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000

a year?. In it he considered how he and his wife had managed to spend all of that very high income without saving any of it. The CPI in 1924 was 17 and the CPI in 2008 was 2015. What income would you have needed in 2008 to have had the same purchasing power that Fitzgerald?s $36,000 had in 1924.

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

Guest expectations +____________=guest satisfaction
avanturin [10]

Answer: C. Perceived Value

Explanation:

When we speak of Perceived value, we speak of how a customer evaluates a good or service in relation to how well it served them especially in relation to similar good or services.

It is essentially the customer, ranking a good or service in terms of how well they feel it fulfilled it's intended purpose.

When guests to an Establishment come with expectations for instance, how well the guests think these expectations are met (perceived Value) is what determines the overall satisfaction of the guest.

Hence the formula, Guest expectations + Perceived Value = Guest Satisfaction
