Greentech- a high technological pharmaceutical company, has developed a clot-dissolving drug called TPA that will halt a heart attack in progress. TPA saves life, minimizes hospital stays, and reduces damage of the heart itself. It is priced at $ 2,200 per dose. What pricing approach does Greentech appear to be using? Is demand for this drug is likely to be elastic with price? Note: Please answer the question with points and exampleUrgent needed within 30min
1. Exercise 14.1 The price elasticity of demand for a textbook sold in the United States is estimated to be -2, whereas the price elasticity of demand for books sold overseas is -3. The U.S. market requires hardcover books with a marginal cost of $40; the overseas market is normally served with softcover texts on newsprint, having a marginal cost of only $15. The profit-maximizing price in the U.S. market is that MR P× (1+ × (1+)) and the profit-maximizing price in the overseas market is (Hint: Remember

3. Garibaldi Provincial Park is located between Squamish and Whistler. A travel cost survey was completed to estimate demand for trips to the park. Bascd on the survey an estimated demand function was derived to represent an average household: P= 200 – 50Q. This is demand per year per household. If there are approximately 2000 households with a travel cost of $150, 3000 households with a travel cost of $100, and 4000 households with a travel cost of $50, what is the total consumer surplus per year from the park?

Suppose that the marginal cost of vaccine is constant at $2 per vaccine and the demand for vaccine is described by the following schedule: Price ($) Quantity 70 5 4 80 3 90 100 1 110 a. If there were many suppliers of vaccines, what would be the price and quantity? b. If there were only one supplier of vaccines, what would be the price and quantity? [Hint: profit]

Lara offers 100 autograph bats. If each is priced at p dollars, it is that the demand curvefor the bast will be p = 250 − q 4 If price elasticity is E(p) =dq ÷ dp q p When |E(p)| < 1, demand is inelastic and when |E(p)| > 1, demand is elastic. (i) Find the price elasticity of demand for Lara′s bats. (ii) Is demand inelastic or elastic?
