    Cable

    Salary, net of living expenses

    b)

    c)

    You receive two job offers in the same big city. The first job is close to your parentshouse,and they have offered to let you live at home for a year so you wont have to incurexpenses for housing, food, or cable TV. This job pays $30,000 per year. The second jobis far from your parents house, so youll have to rent an apartment with parking ($6,000per year), buy your own food ($2,400 per year), and pay for your own cable TV ($600 peryear). This job pays $35,000 per year. You still plan to do laundry at your parents houseonce a week if you live in the city, and you plan to go into the city once a week to visit withfriends if you live at home. Thus, the cost of operating your car will be about the sameeither way. In addition, your parents refuse to pay for your cell phone service ($720 peryear), and you cant function without it.

    3. What qualitative information is relevant to your decision?

    1. Based on this information alone, what is the net difference between the two alternatives(salary, net of relevant costs)?

    4. Assume that you really want to take Job #2, but you also want to live at home to cutcosts. What new quantitative and qualitative information will you need to incorporate intoyour decision?

    You receive two job offers in the same big city. The first job is close to your parents house,and theyhave offered to let you live at home for a year so you wont have to incur expensesfor housing, food,or cable TV. This job pays $49,000 per year. The second job is far awayfrom your parents house, soyoull have to rent an apartment with parking ($9,000 peryear), buy your own food ($3,500 per year),and pay for your own cable TV ($550 per year).This job pays $54,000 per year. You still plan to dolaundry at your parents house once aweek if you live in the city and plan to go into the city once aweek to visit with friends ifyou live at home. Thus, the cost of operating your car will be about thesame either way.Additionally, your parents refuse to pay for your cell phone service ($690 per year),

    and youcant function without it.

    1. Based on this information alone, what is the net difference between the two alternatives

    3. What qualitative information is relevant to your decision?

    4. Assume that you really want to take Job #2, but you also want to live at home to cutcosts. What new quantitative and qualitative information will you need to incorporate intoyour decision?
