The estimated demand function (Moschini and Meilke, 1992) for Canadian processed pork is Qequals161minus20pplus20p Subscript bplus3p Subscript cplus2Y, where Q is the quantity in million kilograms (kg) of pork per year, p is the dollar price per kg, p Subscript b is the price of beef in Canadian dollars per kg, p Subscript c is the price of chicken in dollars per kg, and Y is average income in thousands of dollars. What is the demand function if we hold p Subscript b, p Subscript c, and Y at their typical values during the period studied: p Subscript bequals4.6, p Subscript cequals3.5, and Yequals12.5? Demand as a function of p is (enter your first response rounded to one decimal place and your second response as a whole number):

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i. e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
