Suppose that you received your college degree from Penn State and nailed a great job over in Europe in the summer of 2001. Given that your family remains in the US, you make sure that you visit the family every November by traveling from Europe to the US. We are going to compare the cost of this vacation, in terms of euros, during two different periods: November 2002 and November 2012. We assume that the cost of the trip, in terms of $ US, remains the same at $1,000 in both periods. Using the data below, we will compare the euro cost of the trip in November 2002 vs. the euro cost of the trip in November 2012.
Data:
11/1/2002 the $ per euro exchange rate is $1.00 per euro
11/1/2012 the $ per euro exchange rate was $1.28 per euro
What was the cost of the trip in 2002 measured in euros?
A) 1 euro
B) 1,000 euros
C) 780 euros
D) 1.28 euros
