Your father tells you he earned $1.50 per hour when he was 16 in 1969. Given that the CPI was 36.0 in 1969 and 215 in 2008, how much would you have to earn in 2008 in order to have the same real wage as your father in 1969?

Four key marketing decision variables are price (p), advertising (a), transportation (t), and product quality (q). consumer demand (d) is influenced by these variables. the simplest model for describing demand in terms of these variables is: d = k – pp + aa + tt + qq where k, p, a, t, and q are constants. discuss the assumptions of this model. specifically, how does each variable affect demand? how do the variables influence each other? what limitations might this model have? how can it be improved?
