12 Demand elasticity and social loss. Consider two vaccines for different viruses X and 2. Assume that the marginal cost of producing both drugs is constant and that the fixed cost is small. In other words, assume that the supply curve for both drugs is flat. a Suppose that demand for vaccine y is price elastic, whereas demand for vaccine 2 is relatively inelastic. Plot the private demand curve for both drugs on separate axes.

PROBLEM (1) Suppose a consumer has just enough money to afford the bundle of 3 apples and 2 oranges, and similarly she also has just enough money to afford the bundle of 2 apples and 4 oranges. (a) Denoting the number of apples with x and oranges with y, plot the two given bundles on a graph, and calculate the relative price of apples; px/ py. (b) If she buys only apples with her budget, how many can she buy? If she buys only oranges, how many can she buy? Write down the budget equation for the consumer. (Notice that knowing two points on the budget line, you can write down the budget equation, even though you weren't given the prices nor the income explicitly!) (c) Suppose MUx = 20 and MUY = 30 at some point on the budget line. Is she maximizing utility by choosing this bundle? If not, should she buy fewer apples (and more oranges), or more apples (and fewer oranges), to increase her utility? (d) Forget about (c); instead, you learn that her utility function is u(x,y) = Axy³. What is…

8. Substitutes, complements, or unrelated? You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties decreases by 1%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 18% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 3%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
