Abstract: Abstract Business executives and government officials often make judgments that involve summarizing how business, economic, and financial variables change with time or place. Examples of variation over time include variation in gross national production, variation in the price of consumer goods, and variation in stock market prices, As an example of variation with changes in place, consider a company that wishes to transfer an executive from Chicago to San Francisco. What should be the executive’s minimum salary increase to compensate for the higher cost of living in San Francisco?
