- You have just been hired as manager of a new health spa in RetirementVillage, Florida. The owner has commissioned a market study that estimates the average customer’s monthly demand curve for visiting the healthspa to be Q = 50 − 0.25P. The cost of operating is T C = 3Q, whereQ is the number of visits. The owner has been charging a $20 per-monthmembership fee and a $5 per-visit fee. Part of your salary is 10 percent ofthe monthly profits. Suggest a pricing strategy that will increase your salaryConsider the measurement of prices in the medical sector, where there is rapid innovation. Consider the case of a medical check-up for pregnant women. Assume that this service is privately provided. Suppose that a new ultrasound method is introduced. In the first year that this new method is available, half of doctors offer the new method and half offer the old method. Pregnant women frequent both doctors. A checkup using the new method costs 10% more than a check-up using the old one. 1. In percentage terms, how much of a quality increase does the new method represent compared to the old method? Now suppose that in addition, in the first year the new method is offered, the price of check- ups with the new method is 15% higher than the price of check-ups in the previous year (when everyone used the old method). 2. How much of the higher price of checkups using the new method reflects a true price increase and how much represents a quality increase? How much higher is the quality-…Please answer this question asap I will rate you for sure. Answer must be in typed format Suppose that as the price of Y falls from $3.00 to $2.80, the quantity of Y demanded increases from 200 to 210 . Then the absolute value of the price elasticity (using the midpoint formula ) is approximately.
- 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)Suppose you have two persons, one with more elastic demand for medical care than the other. If they both obtain identical health insurance coverage (or both have their % of costs paid by insurance increased), whose demand will be affected most? Given what you know about relative demand for MC for well vs. ill individuals, more educated vs. less educated persons, and wealthy vs. less wealthy individuals, which of each pair will have the greatest increase in demand under health insurance?Indicate whether the statement is true or false, and justify your answer.Unlike the usual measure of elasticity, an arc elasticity can be calculated from just one price–quantity data point.
- If the demand curve for slices of pizza is given as Q = 300 - 16p, then the pointelasticity of demand when price is $1.50 is (Hint dQ/dp = -16)The daily demand for Invigorated PED shoes is estimated to be Q = 100– 3P, + 4P, – .01M + 24, where A, represents the amount of advertising spent on shoes (X), P, is the price of good X, P, is the price of good Y, and M is average income. Suppose good X sells at Rs.50 a pair, good Y sells at Rs.70, the company utilizes 100 units of advertising, and average consumer income is Rs.40,000. Calculate and interpret 1. Own Price Elasticity of demand 2. Cross Price Elasticity of demand 3. Income Elasticity of demand. 4. Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? 5. Is good X a normal or an inferior good?Assume a consumer's demand for a medical service is as follows: Q = 100 - Pp where Pp is the out-of-pocket price she actually faces. She is considering four different insurance options: uninsurance, full insurance, a 50% coinsurance plan, and a copayment plan with a $25 copay. Assume this service has a list price of PL = $70. Calculate Q under each insurance plan. Please fill in the final answer without showing the middle steps (a number only, without any extra space, symbol, word, etc.) If the customer is uninsured, Q= • If the customer is fully insured, Q= • If the customer has a 50% coinsurance plan, Q= • If the customer has the copayment plan, Q=
- An analyst for FoodMax estimates that the demand for its Brand X potato chips is given by ln QdX = 12.14 – 2.8 ln PX + 3.4PY + 0.7 ln AX, where Qx and PX are the respective quantity and price of a four-ounce bag of Brand X potato chips, PY is the price of a six-ounce bag sold by its only competitor, and AX is FoodMax’s level of advertising on Brand X potato chips. Last year, FoodMax sold 7 million bags of Brand X chips and spent $0.42 million on advertising. Its plant lease is $2.1 million (this annual contract includes utilities) and its depreciation charge for capital equipment was $2.8 million; payments to employees (all of whom earn annual salaries) were $0.8 million. The only other costs associated with manufacturing and distributing Brand X chips are the costs of raw potatoes, peanut oil, and bags; last year FoodMax spent $2.8 million on these items, which were purchased in competitive input markets. Based on this information, what is the profit-maximizing price for a bag of…It is about travel method problem. You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to EuroLand, an amusement park in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visi tors to the park. Before doing this, you divide the area around the park into 10 zones with the distance from the park approximately constant within a zone. You ask each person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone. Your data are shown below: (table) Zone Distance from park (km) Zonal population Number of visitors 1 10 5,000 500 2 20 10,000 900 3 30 25,000 2,000 4 40 10,000 700 5 50 100,000 6,000 6 60 500,000 25,000 7 70 200,000 8,000 8 80 50,000 1,500 9 90 100,000 2,000 10 100 100,000 1,000 You note that admission to Euroland is 150 euros per person. you also calculate that transportation costs, including time costs, are…consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes currently cost $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, it should increase the price by what %? If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be blank than the effect 3 months from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price
