During a nationwide program to immunize the population against a new strain of the flu, public health officials determined that the cost of inoculating x% of the susceptible population would be approximately C(x) = 1.85x/100-x million dollars. (iii) Suppose 17 million dollars are available for providing immunization. What percentage of the susceptible population will not receive immunization? (iv) If money was not a problem will they be able to providing immunization to the entire susceptible population?

Suppose a US medical board is using marginal analysis to determine the optimal screening frequency for a specific disease. Below is the approximate number of early cases detected as you expand testing to a broarder population. Suppose further that each early detection case is considered to have a benefit of $50,000 and the cost of screening one person is $20,000. Number of people Total Number of screened in a Early Detection given a year Cases 1,000 500 2,000 1000 3,000 1400 4,000 1700 5,000 1900 The marginal benefit to screening 2 thousand people is, and 3 thousand people is 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000); 400 cases ($20,000,000) 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000); 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases O 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases; 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000) 400 cases ($20,000,000); 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000) P

Mary is planning to travel to a country where there is some risk of contracting malaria. The market price for the medication that prevents malaria is $400 (the preventative medicine is not covered by insurance). It would take her 2 hours to visit her doctor and get the prescription filled. The opportunity cost of her time is $50/ hour. If she contracts malaria we assume that she will be sick for two weeks and unable to work. Expenses for medication, doctors' visits, and lab tests to treat the malaria will be $1500. She will lose wages and benefits of $1000 for each week she is away from work. Assume the cost of the pain and suffering is $2000. Mary believes that her chance of getting malaria without preventative medicine is about one in 10. A) What is the maximum price that Mary would pay if insurance covered the full cost of treatment if she got malaria? B) What is the maximum price that Mary would pay for the medication if she has no insurance?
For Pancreas Transplant, DRG code is 010. For DRG 010, Medicare pays fixed amount of $21,313.50. Outlier threshold for Medicare is $25,800. (a) John admitted hospital A for pancreas transplant. The charges for John’s treatment was 128,000. Cost to charge ratio for Hospital A was 0.10. How much payment hospital A would get from Medicare? (b) Bryan admitted hospital B for pancreas transplant. The charges for Bryan’s treatment was same as John, $128,000, but cost to charge ratio for Hospital B was 0.25. How much payment hospital B would get from Medicare?

Dataware is trying to determine whether to give a $10 rebate, cut the price $6, or have no price change on a software product. Currently, 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45 apiece. The variable cost ofthe product is $5. The most likely case appears to bethat a $10 rebate will increase sales 30%, and half of all people will claim the rebate. For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%.a. Given all other assumptions, what increase in sales from the rebate would make the rebate and price cut equally desirable?b. Dataware does not really know the increase in sales that will result from a rebate or price cut. However, the company is sure that the rebate will increase sales by between 15% and 40% and that the pricecut will increase sales by between 10% and 30%.Perform a sensitivity analysis that could be used to help determine Dataware’s best decision.
A new vaccine offers protection against otitis media. Administering the vaccine to 10,000,000 children under age 5 would reduce otitis media cases from 14,000,000 to 11,000,000. The vaccine costs $100 per patient. What is the cost per case avoided? Round your answer to the nearest unit. Enter a numeric value as a non-numeric value will be converted to 0 thus potentially making your answer wrong. Do not enter a comma or any other sign for the same reason. I
