An N-Channel device has K’n = 50 µA / V^2, Vt = 0.8 V and W/L = 20. The device is operating as a switch for small Vds, utilizing a control voltage Vgs in the range 0 V to 5 V. Find the switch closures resistance, Rds and closure voltage, Vds obtained when Vgs = 5 V and Id = 1 ma. Recalling that Up (Miu)= 0.4 µ(n). What must W/L be for a p-channel device that provides the same performance as the n-channel device in this application?

Consider a public policy aimed at reducing smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.8.


Consider a public policy aimed at reducing smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.8

a. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, how much should it increase the price of a pack of cigarettes by? 

b. If the price increase is permanent, will the effect on smoking be greater in 3 months or 3 years? Why?

Consider a hypothetical economy with autonomous consumption spending equal to 100 billion dollars, a marginal propensity to consume of 0.8

 

Consider a hypothetical economy with autonomous consumption spending equal to 100 billion dollars, a marginal propensity to consume of 0.8, private investment spending of 160 billion dollars, government spending of 140 billion dollars, a balanced budget, and balanced trade (i.e. exports and imports are equal). Write a short essay comparing the effects (1) on the government budget and (2) on the equilibrium level of income in the economy of (i) a 5 billion dollar increase in government spending and of (ii) a 5 billion dollar decrease in net taxes.

The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool Demand Factor Average American household income Roundtrip airfare from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas (LAS) Room rate at the Lucky Hotel and Casino, which is near the Big Winner Initial Value $50,000 per year $200 per roundtrip $250 per night

For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and Big Winner is charging $300 per room per night.

If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner (falls OR rises) from (..........) rooms per night to (.........) rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is ( positive OR negative ) , meaning that hotel rooms at the Big Winner are ( an inferior good OR an normal good)  

If the price of an airline ticket from SFO to LAS were to increase by 10%, from $200 to $220 roundtrip, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner (falls OR rises)   from (..........) rooms per night to (.........) rooms per night. Because the cross-price elasticity of demand is ( positive OR negative ) , hotel rooms at the Big Winner and airline trips between SFO and LAS are ( substitutes OR complement ).

Big Winner is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $275 per night. Under the initial demand conditions, you can see that this would cause its total revenue to ( decrease OR increase ) Decreasing the price will always have this effect on revenue when Big Winner is operating on the ( elastic OR inelastic ).

I want you to apply the concepts we have discussed in class in a fun way....

I want you to apply the concepts we have discussed in class in a fun way. I do hope you will enjoy this exercise. Once upon a time, there was an amazing group of students who lived in Cronfwoman OneFiveOne. Right next to their house, was a hotel and within that hotel was a café called Café Bastel. The amazing students were approached by an investor, Ms Finn Ance Major, who asked for their help. The investor was contemplating buying Café Bastel for $1 million and wondered if that was a good investment. What is your recommendation to Ms Finn Ance Major? Here is some information to get you started:

1. The café sells (non‐alcoholic) beverages as well as snacks and lunch

2. The café is open for 7 days, from 7am to 7pm

3. At any point in time, there are 2 employees working in the café

4. The investment horizon is 10 years 5. Use a discount rate of 12%

6. Use a tax rate of 35% You will need to make assumptions (capex, working capital…..).

There is no “right” answer – first think about the big picture (strategy, marketing, ….) and then how that story translates into your assumptions. You will be graded based on the structure of your analysis, the consistency and realism of your assumptions, your creativity, and your use of the tools/learnings from class.
