- Bonus Question. Suppose that a consumer makes V0 physician visits each year at a price of P0. If the price elasticity is -0.4, what will happen to the number of visits if the price increases by 15 percent? What will happen to total physician expenditures? Explain your answers. Hint: take into account that physician expenditures is the same as a physician’s practice revenue. Also, consider the relationship of elasticity and revenues.arrow_forwardUse the following information to calculate the elasticity of demand for primary care visits: initially a clinic visit cost $25 per visit and the clinic saw approximately 60 people per day. The clinic decided to raise price to $35 per visit and the number of people using the clinic fell to 50 people per day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and indicate whether increasing the price was a good business decision.arrow_forwardThe consumer demand equation for tissues is given by q = 11,664 −216 p +p2, where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales.
