A quick definition of actual value:

An actual value is the true worth of something. It can refer to the monetary value of an item or its importance or usefulness to people. For example, the actual value of a car could be its market price or the value it provides in transportation. Actual value is also known as fair market value, which is the price that a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in an open and fair transaction.

A more thorough explanation:

Actual value refers to the real worth of something. It can be the monetary value of something or its significance, desirability, or usefulness. It is also known as fair market value.

  • If you want to sell your car, the actual value is the amount of money someone is willing to pay for it in an open and fair market.
  • In insurance, the actual value is the replacement cost of an item minus its normal depreciation.
  • When determining the value of a property, the actual value is the price that a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in an arm's-length transaction.

These examples illustrate that actual value is the true worth of something in a given context, whether it is the price of a car, the replacement cost of an insured item, or the market value of a property.

16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
