Question 12 In order to bring to South Korea a Therapy-based mental health app, you first need to roughly estimate your market demand. Your market research (country report) yields the following statistics: -Therapy mental health app users in China: 30M -Total adult population in China: 1.2B -Total adult population in Korea: 40M -Smartphone ownership in Korea: 94% -At least "somewhat interested" in mental health products in Korea: 30% -Currently using similar apps (mediation or mindfulness) in Korea: 4M According to the Analogy method, market demand estimate could be: 4M 30M/3 = 10M (because Korean population is one third of the Chinese population) 30M Both options 1) and 2)

P & A Ch 05 Q10 Consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 10%, it should increase the price by ? %. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be ( larger / smaller ) than the effect 3 months from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Which of the following statements are consistent with this result? Check all that apply. Adults are more likely to be addicted to cigarettes. Teenagers do not have as much income as adults, so they are more price sensitive. It is legal for adults to consume alcohol, so many choose to spend their money on that good rather than cigarettes.

Homework (Ch 05) Consider the market for soybeans. The following graph shows the weekly demand for soybeans and the weekly supply of soybeans. Suppose new farming technology is developed that enables growers to produce more crops with the same resources. Show the effect this shock has on the market for soybeans by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. 30 Demand 24 Supply Supply 67°F Sunny PRICE (Dollars per bushel) Demand Q O

Koeler et al. (2004) estimate that the U.S. Tobacco Settiement between major tobacco companies and 46 states caused the price of cigarettes to jump by 45e per pack (21%) and overall per capita cigarete consumption to fal by 8.3%. What is the elasticity of demand for cigarettes? The price elasticity of demand for digaretes (e) is (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to three decimal places)

Chelsea Izkowski owns a fast food restaurant named Mickey Doodle's Burgers. Sherecently took a course in managerial economics and is eager to apply her knowledge tothe management of her business. She decides to estimate the price elasticity (EP) andincome elasticity (EI) of demand for DoodleBurgers and the cross-price elasticity (EDF) ofdemand for DoodleBurgers with respect to the price of FiddleBurgers, her chiefcompetitor. In order to estimate these elasticities, she collects the information that islisted in the table below, where Q is the quantity of DoodleBurgers sold in a week, PD isthe price of a DoodleBurger during the week, I is per capita annual income, and PF is theprice of a FiddleBurger during the week. Use this information to calculate the arc price,income, and cross-price elasticities of demand for DoodleBurgers.Q 1,000 1,100 983 831PD $1.20 $1.20 $1.20 $1.40I $10,000 $10,000 $11,000 $10,000PF $1.00 $1.10 $1.00 $1.00
1. Chez What recently opened a stand in between the Commons and the Library. They sell mostly breakfast items, particularly coffee, and croissants. The operators are particularly concerned about the demand for croissants. In an effort to assess the wisdom of their pricing strategy, they asked an economist client to estimate the demand for croissants sold at Chez What. He came with the following information. Q = 150-50P - 20Pc +30P₂ Where P = the price of croissants, P. = the price of coffee sold at Chez What, and Pa the price of coffee sold at the nearby Alpine bagel bakery a. Suppose that the price of coffee at Chez What is $1.5 and that the price of coffee at the Alpine Bagel Bakery is $2 per cup. Calculate the demand curve for croissants.
Suppose you are the manager of the state transport company and your finance officer has just told you that the company is making losses .To reverse the losses been made by STC,your decide to cut transport service to certain destination but your board of directors do not want you to cut service,which means that you cannot cut costs.Your only hope is to increase revenue. You result the economist on your staff who has researched studies on public transportation elasticity and she reports that the estimated price.Elasticity of demand for the first few month after a price change is about -0.3 but the that after several year ,it will be about-1.5
