Juanita makes $56 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $56 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
