Research Scenario: You have been raising Bombina orientalis, or Oriental fire-bellied toads, and measured the frogs’ jumps in centimeters. Your latest study looks at males and females’ reactions to being raised in a room with another animal. You set up three terrariums, each with six male and six female frogs. Each terrarium is in a separate room. Let A1 = male frogs, A2 =female frogs, B1 = frogs raised in a room with a dog, B2 = frogs raised in a room with a cat, and B3 = frogs raised in a room with a parrot.

In 2004, the board of regents for a large midwestern state hired a consultant to develop a series of enrollment forecast models, one for each college in the state's system. These models used historical data and exponential smoothing to forecast the following year's enrollments. Based on the model, which included a smoothing constant (α) for each school, each college’s budget was set by the board. The head of the board personally selected each smoothing constant, based on what she called her “gut reactions and political acumen."

What do you think the advantages and disadvantages of this system are? Base your discussion from the stand point of a small college and then also from the view of the largest college in the system.

What was the initial ethical dilemma faced by the decision maker in this case?

In 2004, Becton Dickinson, the world’s largest manufac- turer of medical supplies and equipment agreed to pay Retractable, a small innovative company making safety syringes, $100 million dollars for damages it had inflicted on the small manufacturer. The year before, Premier and Novation, two of the largest GPOs (general purchasing organizations that buy supplies for hospitals and clinics), had paid Retractable an undisclosed sum of money for damages they had inflicted on the small company by co- operating with Becton Dickinson. Much more important, and uncompensated, however, were the injuries the three companies were said to have inflicted on countless health workers who had contracted AIDS and other blood-borne diseases because the three companies had blocked Re- tractable from selling its safety syringes to the hospitals, medical clinics, and other health organizations where they worked. To add insult to injury, in 2009, Becton Dickin- son was found by a jury to have copied Retractable’s pat- ented safety syringes and to have sold them to the very organizations whom earlier it had not allowed to have ac- cess to Retractable’s revolutionary safety syringes......

I can't post the whole case as it is too long to post. But you can find the case similar like this on Chegg. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Rosenberg (2004) reported the invention of the new machine that serves as a mobile station for receiving and accumulating packed flats of strawberries close to where they are picked, reducing workers’ time and the burden of carrying full flats of strawberries. A machine-assisted crew of 15 pickers produces as much output, q*, as that of an unaided crew of 25 workers. In a 6-day, 50-hour workweek, the machine replaces 500 worker hours. At an hourly wage cost of $10, a machine saves $5,000 per week in labor costs or $130,000 over a 26-week harvesting season. The cost of machine operation and maintenance expressed as a daily rental is $200, or $1,200 for a 6-day week. Thus, the net savings equal $3,800 per week or $98,800 for 26 weeks.

  1. Introducing machine assisted production is an example of technological innovation. Evidently, the example above helps to improve productivity. How does such an improvement affect the supply curve?
  2. Such technological innovations were opposed in the past by Luddites that marched around destroying machines because they increased unemployment. Do you agree with such behaviors and how could they be justified? What are other possible social benefits of introducing labor saving technology?
  3. From your earlier study of basic economics, what type of unemployment is created by such technological innovations? How can this type of unemployment, if at all it occurs, be mitigated or solved

A study in the May 4 2004 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine considered the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of screening people with hypertension (blood pressure of 140/90 or higher) for Type 2 Diabetes among people with hypertension. Assume - 5 % of people with hypertension have undiagnosed diabetes. - Early diagnosis of diabetes saves 0.2 years of life per person with previously undiagnosed diabetes. - A year of life is valued at $100,000. - Early diagnosis of diabetes increases health costs (due to treatment of diabetes for a longer period of time) by $10,000 per person with previously undiagnosed diabetes. We consider the costs and benefits of diabetes screening for 10,000 people with hypertension who have not been screened for diabetes. In parts (a) and (b) assume that there are no direct costs for the actual screening tests, the only cost is the indirect cost of receiving more health care, and that the screening detects all cases of undiagnosed diabetes.

(a) Perform a cost-benefit analysis of diabetes screening for this group. Does it favor screening?

(b) What is the cost of screening per life-year saved?

(c) Suppose that the costs of screening each individual are $120. How would this affect your answer from part a? For this cost-benefit analysis, what is the break-even price that would favor screening (At what value would the costs and benefits be equal)?

Java Script.

Develop a program that will determine the slugging percentages and batting average of several New York Yankees from the 2006 season. Slugging percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of bases by the number of at bats. The number of bases would be one for every single, two for every double, three for every triple, and four for every home run. The batting average is calculated by dividing the total number of hits by the number of at bats. You do not know the number of players in advance, but for each player you know their number of singles, doubles, triples, home runs, total number of at bats, and the player's name (use the proper type and method for each variable).

You will use a while sentinel loop on the 1st item to input. If it is not the sentinel, go into the while sentinel loop and separately input the rest of the input items (be careful of the enter in the input memory buffer for the player name). You will then calculate the total bases and the slugging percentage. You will then calculate the batting average. You will then print out the player's name, the labeled slugging percentage for that player to three decimal places, and the labeled batting average for that player to three decimal places. Use separate output statements. Print a blank line between players. This loop will repeat for as many players as you need.

Run your program with the following players and sentinel value (to show the sentinel value worked):

Create a java script. Modify your program that determined the slugging percentages and batting average of several New York Yankees from the 2006 season. The user now knows in advance the number of players to process. You will ask the user to input the number of players and input that value into a variable. You will use a while loop to check their input. While their input is less than zero or more than twenty, you will ask them to re-input the number of players, since the number of players has to be from zero to twenty. Use proper form for the while loop. Since we now know the number of players, use a for loop to count up to their number. Inside the loop, input all the data, calculate the batting average and slugging percentages, and print the name, batting average, and slugging percentage as in the while sentinel loop. Use proper form for the for loop. Make sure everything from part one is working properly. Slugging percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of bases by the number of at bats. The number of bases would be one for every single, two for every double, three for every triple, and four for every home run. The batting average is calculated by dividing the total number of hits by the number of at bats. You do not know the number of players in advance, but for each player you know their number of singles, doubles, triples, home runs, total number of at bats, and the player's name (use the proper type and method for each variable). Then use a for loop with a counter. While the counter is less than or equal to the number of players, go into the for loop and separately input the items (be careful of the enter in the input memory buffer for the player name). You will then calculate the total bases and the slugging percentage. You will then calculate the batting average. You will then print out the player's name, the labeled slugging percentage for that player to three decimal places, and the labeled batting average for that player to three decimal places. Use separate output statements. Print a blank line between players. This loop will repeat for as many players as the user asked for. Run your program with the following input and players: Enter number of players (0 – 20): 25 Invalid number of players. Enter number of players (0 – 20): -1 Invalid number of players. Enter number of players (0 – 20): 3 Singles: 158 Doubles: 39 Triples: 3 Home Runs: 14 At Bats: 623 Player: Derek Jeter Singles: 51 Doubles: 25 Triples: 0 Home Runs: 37 At Bats: 446 Player: Jason Giambi Singles: 104 Doubles: 26 Triples: 1 Home Runs: 35 At Bats: 572 Player: Alex Rodriguez

**** Only Need answers for questions g and h****

Suppose that, in the absence of insurance, the daily demand for visits to a clinic is given by Qd = 200 – 0.5P, where c is the coinsurance rate and P is the price charged by the clinic.

a) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100.

b) Calculate daily revenues when P is $100.

Now assume that customers pay a coinsurance rate, c. You will need to modify the demand function to account for the coinsurance.

c) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.4.

d) Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in (c).

e) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.8.

f) Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in (e).

Assume the clinic’s daily capacity is 100 customers.

g) Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is no coinsurance (i.e., the co-coverage rate is 1).

h) Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is a coinsurance rate of 0.8
