Chapter 12; Question 1:
Before beginning I would like to mention this is an interesting, along with ironic topic this week in relation to myself personally, as I am making a 1500 mile move across the county the end of this month and almost everything on the list below are things I need to consider when looking at the cost of living comparison. Also, the indications of whether the consumer relies heavily, moderately, or hardly at all on the price to judge the quality of a product is by all means, only the opinion of the writer of this paper.
a. Airfare in coach: Hardly at all, airfare is what it is, one airline isn’t any better or safer than the next, therefore I judge on cost alone.
b. Appendectomy: Heavily, anytime time you are dealing with a persons’ health and well-being, quality is the only guide necessary, a consumers’ thought process is the higher the cost, the better the surgeon.
c. Baby food: I would say heavily, for people with babies, of course they want a high quality product to feed their children.
d. Cell phone Service: Heavily, I have been considering ditching Verizon and their contract based, expensive service to go to Straight Talk. However, I have heard rumor the service is not as excellent as Verizon so I continue to stay, based on that alone.
e. Cosmetics: Personally this is not a topic I consider the quality much at all. Except possibly the concern for what they are making it from and the damage it could do to the skin. Other than that, I go the most cost effective route possible.
f. Dog food: Again, people with dogs would probably consider this more heavily, but without a dog, it doesn’t apply to me.
g. Electricity: Hardly at all, like airfare in coach, electricity, is what it is, there isn’t a quality about it, it is a must have in today’s society.
h. Gasoline: I am going to respond to this the same as above with electricity and airfare, hardly at all.
i. Haircut: After completing this assignment, I believe I have found out what a simple
