- Insurance coverage has been shown to diminish the importance of time in the decision about how much medical care to seek and which providers to use. True OR FalseIf the farmer uses pesticides he expects a crop of 60,000 bushels; if he does not use pesticides he expects a crop of 50,000 bushels. The cost of pesticides is $30,000 and the other costs associated with planting and harvesting the crop total $450,000. The price of corn at harvest time will either be $9.00 with probability of 0.50 or it will be $11.00 with probability 0.50, so if the farmer decides to sell the crop at harvest, the expected price per bushel that he will receive is $10.00. If the farmer decides to sell the crop at harvest, then: a. He should not use pesticides because not using pesticides ensures greater expected profit. b. He should not use pesticides because not using pesticides ensures lower expected profit. c. He should use pesticides because using pesticides ensures greater expected profit. d. He should use pesticides because using pesticides ensures lower expected profit.Consider two treatments. Treatment 1 saves one year of life at a cost of $10,000. Treatment 2 saves ten years of life at a cost of $1,000,000. Which treatment is more cost-effective? Why? Consider two treatments. Treatment 1 saves six years of quality adjusted life at a cost of $90,000. Treatment 2 saves three years of quality adjusted life at a cost of $60,000. Which treatment is preferred from a cost utility analysis perspective? Suppose Jay has been experiencing back pain and that there are two options for back pain: Treatment Regimen Total Cost Pain Reduction Do nothing $0 0 units Cortisone injections $600 30 units Calculate the ICER between cortisone injections and doing nothing. Jay says he is willing to pay $10 for a per unit of pain reduction. Should he choose cortisone injections? Another treatment is discovered. It costs $700 and reduces pain by 25 units. Should he choose the new treatment?
- If the farmer uses pesticides he expects a crop of 60,000 bushels; if he does not use pesticides he expects a crop of 55,000 bushels. The cost of pesticides is $20,000 and the other costs associated with planting and harvesting the crop total $450,000. The price of corn at harvest time will either be $10.00 with probability of 0.50 or it will be $12.00 with probability 0.50, so if the farmer decides to sell the crop at harvest, the expected price per bushel that he will receive is $11.00. If the farmer does not use pesticides and decides to sell the crop at harvest, what is his expected revenue? a. $550,000.00 b. $660,000.00 c. $600,000.00 d. $605,000.00H applied for a individual major medical policy. When H filed a claim within the first year of coverage and the underwriter noticed that the H's age on the claim form was different than what was listed on the application. The insurer will take which of the following actions regarding H's claim? A: Deny the claim and refund premiums B: Deny the claim, cancel the policy and keep all premiums C: Pay the claim in full and keep the policy as is D: Adjust the claim benefit amount to the insured's correct ageConsider the following information: Patients who are given Treatment A live for one year in Health State q = 0.8 and certainly live for another year in Health State q = 0.5. Patients who are given Treatment B live for one year in Health State q = 1.0 and then either die with probability 70% or live for another year in Health State q = 1.0 with probability !3! 30%. Which of the following statement is TRUE regarding the abovementioned information? If the second year is discounted at rate r= 0.10 then the expected present value QALYS for treatment A and B is 1.35 and 1.33, respectively. O If the second year is discounted at rate r = 0.10, Treatment A and B yield the same more expected present value QALYS. If the second year is discounted at rate r= 0.10, Treatment A yields more expected present value QALYS. If the second year is discounted at rate r = 0.10 then the expected present value QALYS for treatment A and B is 1.25 and 1.27, respectively. O If the second year is discounted at rate…
- Now consider a different insurance company that does not have the inclination to tailor contracts specifically to individuals. Instead, it will offer a “standard contract” with the premium r =$100 and payout q=$500 to anyone who will purchase it. a. Peter has healthy-state income IH = $500 and sick-state income IS = $0. He has probability of illness p=0.1. Is the standard contract fair and/or full for Peter? If he ends up getting sick, what will his final income be? b. Tim has IH = $500 and IS = $0, but a probability of illness p = 0.2, higher than Peter’s. Is the standard contract fair and/or full for Tim? How does purchasing the standard contract affect Tim’s expected income?c. Jay has IH =$1, 000 and IS =$0, with probability of illness p=0.2. Is the standard contract fair and/or full for Jay?d. Suppose there is a customer named Ronald for whom the standard contract is partial and actuarially unfair in the insurance company’s favor. Give a set of possible values for Ronald’s IH, IS,…and you have a 10% chance of getting sick. Your income when sick is $0 and your income when healthy is $100. 1. Assume your utility over income is U=T ¥ 1. Graph your utility and income with income on the x-axis and utility on the y-axis. Show your income/utility when healthy and sick on the graph. 2. calculate your expected income. Show on graph. 3. calculate your expected utility. Show on graph. 1. Now you are offerred health insurance by Prof. Grossman's Totally Full and Fair Insurance Company. For a premium of $20, you will get a payout of $50 if you get sick. 1. Is the insurance company's name accurate (is this actuarially fair and full)? 2. What is the expected payout from this insurance? 3. What is the Income when sick and income when healthy under insurance? Show on your graph 4. What is the expected income and expected utility under this insurance? Show each on your graph 5. Propose a full and fair insurance given your 10% chance of getting sick and your healthy and sick…Question 4 Suppose that there is a 10% chance Ja'Marr is sick and earns $10,000, and a 90% chance he is healthy and will earn $70,000. Suppose further that his utility function is the following (utility = square root of income) U (I) = VIncome Ja'Marr's expected income is O $60,000 O $70,000 $40,000 O $64,000
- Suppose that there is asymmetric information in the market for used cars. Sellers know the quality of the car that they are selling, but buyers do not. Buyers know that there is a 30% chance of getting a "lemon", a low quality used car. A high quality used car is worth $30,000, and a low quality used car is worth $15,000. Based on this probability, the most that a buyer would be willing to pay for a used car is $ 25500. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar.) Which of the following would best "solve" the asymmetric information problem in this market? O A. Prohibiting the sale of low-quality cars. O B. High-quality sellers could offer warranties or product guarantees. OC. Low-quality sellers could establish industry standards. O D. It is not possible to solve the asymmetric information problem in this market.Lucy, the manager of the medical test firm Dubrow Labs, worries about the firm being sued for botched results from blood tests. If it isn't sued, the firm expects to earn profit of $120, but if it is successfully sued, its profit will be only $20. Lucy believes that the probability of a successful suit is 20%. If fair insurance is available and Lucy is risk averse, how much insurance will she buy? Lucy will buy insurance that costs her $ when not successfully sued. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
