Question
A ski resort in Vail Colorado is relying on 30% of its anticipated 28,000 customers coming from Europe this winter. The resort's amenities and services are all dollar priced but you know that changes in the value of the euro relative to the dollar will affect whether Europeans will come to Vail rather than skiing in the Alps.
