question Ruth is a senior citizen who consumes food and health care. When she retired in 2002, she consumed 90 meals and 3 medical checkups per month. Suppose in 2002 that the price of a meal was $10 and the price of a medical checkup was $51. However, in 2012, the price of a meal is $11 and the price of a medical checkup is $285. As a result, Ruth consumes 100 meals and 2 medical checkups per month. Calculate a Laspeyres cost-of-living index for Ruth using 100 as the base in 2002. In particular, the Laspeyres index for 2012 is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

2. What will happen to the income of pediatricians? in the early 1990s, concerns about the supply of pediatricians led to an expansion of pediatric training. As a result, the number of pediatricians is expected to grow from about 45,000 in 2005 to about 60,000 in 2022. In contrast, the number of children is expected to grow by less than 10 percent, meaning that the number of children per pediatrician should fall by 20 percent (Shipman Lurie, and Goodman 2004). The decline in the number of children per pediatrician seems likely to result in lower incomes for pediatrician. Further, this decrease may be amplified by the emergence of retail clinics that are staffed by nurse practitioners and offer convenient, walk in services for many common childhood illnesses. Model the effects of the drop in the number of children per pediatrician using per pediatrician demand and supply services. How do you expect those curve to shift over time?

Question 4 1 pts Consider the market for used cars. Suppose that there are "good" used cars and "lemons" (or cars that are likely to fall apart quickly). Suppose that owners of "good" used cars would be willing to sell for $10,000 and owners of "lemons" will sell their car for $2,00O. Furthermore, assume buyers are willing to pay $12,000 for a "good" car and $3,000 for a lemon. Assume that sellers know if their car is good or a lemon, but buyers cannot differentiate between good cars and lemons.

Assume a market basket consisting of gasoline (10 gallons), milk (3 gallons), ground beef (6 pounds), and men’s underwear (1 pack). While it may seem strange, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspace often monitored sales of men’s underwear as a broader indicator of economic health. Calculate the cost of the market basket given current prices for gasoline ($3.25/gal), milk ($4.10/gal), ground beef ($3.59/pound), and men’s underwear ($9.49/pack). The cost of the market basket one year ago was $71.16. Calculate the year-over-year inflation rate.
Cristina is excited with these averages and tells her public relations team to prepare a glossy brochure to showcase this $250 increase in household income. which of the following must be true to confidently conclude that this $250 difference in average income was caused by access to a UThere The herders who bought UThere phones would have had higher income than the herders who did not even if they had not purchased the UThere phone. The herders who bought UThere phones would have had the same income as the herders who did not even if they had not purchased the UThere phone. We don’t need to worry about Selection Bias since Nepal and Tibet are small countries with more or less similar people.

Recall that the goal of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) legislation was get more people access to affordable health insurance. It was widely reported that health insurance premiums under Obamacare were getting much more expensive. What was the main factor causing the premiums to get more expensive? Many of the new enrollees were young teenagers unable afford their own insurance, so other people are paying for them The plan required a lot of paperwork and administrative tasks, and insurance companies had to hire a lot of people to get these tasks done The new enrollees were older and sicker than expected, increasing health care usage and expenses, causing costs and insurance premiums to rise Obamacare created new medical technologies which were expensive to use
For a single illness (such as a sore throat and cough), show the demand curves for three different consumers with different preferences about medical care and other goods. Need the demand curves be parallel? Could they ever cross? Now aggregate those three demand curves into a demand curve for them together. If these three people constitute the entire population in a market area, then this demand curve is the "market" demand curve. Think about what would happen when you aggregated the demand curves of thousands of individuals.
