Health EconomicsA Theoretical Economic Evaluation of Management of Anemia in Hemodialysis patientsPatients with chronic renal failure who are on hemodialysis suffer from profound anemia which is oftenextremely debilitating. This is due to the reduction of erythropoietin and the loss of blood duringhemodialysis/ historically these patients have been managed by the use of blood transfusions. Now,synthetic erythropoietin is available. So the alternatives are whether to give erythropoietin or bloodtransfusion when the hemoglobin level of the patient is below 8g/dl.Effectiveness data for the two alternatives available from the literature suggest that erythropoietin canmaintain hemoglobin levels above 8g/dl for 91% of the year, whereas blood transfusions maintain levelsfor 76% of the year. The effectiveness measure used here is the percentage time spent with a hemoglobinlevel above 8 g/dl.Assume that the health economic evaluation is taking the perspective of the health care provider.You have 1000 dialysis patients who would be eligible for erythropoietinYou have the following cost information for the two alternativesCost administration of erythropoietinThe average does is 200 units /kg subcutaneously per week in three divided doses. Usingprefilled syringes, this costs PhP 106.65 per week per patientOccasionally patients have influenza type reactions, an increase in blood pressure or ahypertensive crisis. The incidence and cost of managing these events are as followsInfluenzatype | Increased BPHypertensive crisisreactionIncidence (patients 1 per 101 per 101 per 500per year)Costof 1.00600.00managementCost of Blood TransfusionPatients whose anemia is managed by blood transfusion have on average twotransfusions per month. Each transfusion is typically two units of blood.Cost of transfusion = cost of blood + cost of administration = PhP 130.00Occasionally patients have allergic reactions, an increase in blood pressure or ironoverload.

3.2 Differentiate between accounting costs and economic costs. Motivate your answer with the aid of examples
Mr. Jack is in the process of expanding his manufacturing business. He decided to open a plant in the coming year. He has four locations in mind. The costs information for these locations is in the following table. Location A B C Fixed Cost 60000 80000 130000 Variable Cost 30 20 10 Write an equation to represent the total costs for each location. Draw the total costs lines for each location on the same axes. (Use output ranges of 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000 etc. and intervals of $50,000 on the Y axis. Over what range of output is location A the most preferred location? Over what range of output is location B the most preferred location? Over what range of output is location C the most preferred location?
