Q1. Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $3 to $4. At present, 1 million cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, the number of cars per week will change according to its price elasticity of demand of -0.8 (this elasticity value is estimated based on the initial-value method). If the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply curve is horizontal) and equal to $3 per car, what is the net annual cost to society attributable to the increase in the toll? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest million dollars per year, i.e., no decimal places; there are 52 weeks in a year)
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about +0.5. Suppose a major brokerage firm advised its clients to buy cigarette stock under the assumption that, if consumer income rise by 50 percent as expected over the next decade, cigarette sales would double. Based on the fundamental economic principles on income elasticity of demand, a reasonable reaction to this investment advice would be?
Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demand for these two cameras are as follows (DS = demand for the Sky Eagle, Ps is the selling price of the Sky Eagle, DH is the demand for the Horizon and PH is the selling price of the Horizon): Ds = 230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH DH = 260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Select the revenue function for these two models. Choose the correct answer below. (i) Ps Ds + PHDH = PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) + Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) (ii) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iii) Ps Ds + PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) + PH(260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iv) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 + 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) Answer: Option 3 Find the prices that maximize revenue.

The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: $240, Camera B Price: $300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10. Max revenue occurs at Camera A price of $ - Max revenue occurs at Camera B price of $ -
After reviewing Institute for Clinical and Economic Review consider the following: In the UK, very few drugs or procedures are approved if they cost more than $50,000 per QALY. Take the example of PCSK9 inhibitors. The PCSK9 inhibitors(PSK9i) are a class of injectable drugs approved in 2015 that have been shown to dramatically lower LDL cholesterol levels, by up to 60% when combined with a statin. The market price of the first PCSK9s to be sold in the US in 2015 was $14,350 per year. The ICER analysis shows how many more patients could be treated at a lower total budget impact if the price could be lowered. Given this information what price should Medicare pay for a PSCK9? Should a state Medicaid program pay more or less? Should Medicaid programs in low-income states pay more, less, or the same, compared to high-income states? Should there be one $/QALY for an entire country? How would you expect drug companies to react to price limits set by public programs?
Over the range from $12 to $14, Qd goes from 30 to 24. Using this range of prices and quantities, you should calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand. In the box labeled E1, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is: 2 6 1.36 1.44 In box E2, you would interpret the coefficient calculated in the previous question. Therefore, you would characterize this range as: Elastic Unit Elastic Inelastic None of the Above
The following graph illustrates the market for almonds. It plots the monthly supply of almonds and the monthly demand for almonds. Suppose new gathering technology is invented, allowing growers to produce more crops using the same amount of resources. Show the effect this shock has on the market for almonds by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and that Triple Sevens is charging $200 per room per night. If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevensrises from rooms per night to rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is , meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are .
