John has two job offers:

1. Company A in NYC offers him $80,000
2. Company B in Indy offers him $48,000

John likes these two jobs equally and he is indifferent between a quieter life and a glamorous city life. His dad, Bob tries to help him make decision. He has come across some CPI data for cities in the US in a magazine one day;

CPI in NYC is 120 and CPI in Indy is 80.
