[P1](15pts) IE Department at WSU admits Undergraduate (UG), Masters (MS), and Doctoral (PhD) students to its programs every year. In order to have a smooth admission period, the department head wants to know how many employees to hire. Each UG, MS, PhD student requires 3, 4, and 5 hours of employee time to complete the admission process, respectively. In order to sustain the three programs, the department head decided to admit at least 15 UG, 50 MS, and 10 PhD students. Moreover, there are 55 UG, 180 MS, and 40 PhD applicants this year. Let x1, x2, and x3 represent the number of UG, MS, and PhD students admitted to the programs and let y represent the employee hiring decision: y is an integer valued variable indicating the number of employees. Every employee increases labor capacity by 160 hours. Salary for the additional employees is $60,000. Department makes a revenue of $4,000 for each UG, $5,000 for every MS student, and $400 for each PhD student. If the department wants to maximize its profit (revenue from students – salary of additional employees), how many students of each category would be admitted, and how many employees would be hired?

Let’s first understand how to use the table by looking at the price elasticity of demand overall for tobacco users, the last row of the table entitled “Total.” The total price elasticity coefficient is -0.87. The coefficient is negative since higher tobacco prices result in less quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. So for example, a 10 % increase in tobacco taxes would reduce the quantity demanded by 8.7% overall. Within this 8.7% reduction in quantity demanded, 4% would quit altogether (Elasticity of Smoking Participation coefficient) while the quantity demanded would fall by 4.7% among those who keep smoking (Conditional Demand Elasticity).

Health advocacy groups during the last session of the Montana Legislature proposed raising the state’s tax on cigarettes by $1.50 per pack to boost it to $3.20 a pack. The purpose of the tax was two-fold; to reduce tobacco use and to raise badly needed tax revenue for programs suffering budget cuts and administered by the Montana Department of Health and Human Services. Also, the price elasticity of demand for tobacco products by youth is -1.2 (not shown).

  1. Identify the demographic groups who will most respond to higher tobacco prices and offer an explanation why they respond the way they do.
  2. If the primary purpose is to raise badly needed revenue for other programs cut by the Montana Legislature, what demographic will raise the most revenue for the government?
  3. If you want to encourage smokers to drop the habit altogether, which demographic group would likely respond the most to the higher price of tobacco products by quitting the habit entirely?
  4. How would all elasticities likely change in the long-run? Why?
