The price elasticity of demand for ambulatory mental health services appears to be about - 0.8, and the price elasticity for general ambulatory medical services appears to be about -0.3. How much would spending increase for each type of care if copays were cut from $40 to $25? *Hint: Need to find out how much the copay decreased by in percentage and that will give you the percentage change in price to plug into your elasticity formula. (PLEASE SHOW WORK ON HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER, THANK YOU).
Given, The price elasticity of demand for ambulatory mental health services is -0.8. The price elasticity of demand for general ambulatory medical services is -0.3. If copay were cut from $40 to $25, that is price decreased, the percentage change in price can be computed as, [($25 - $40) $40] -37.5% Using the formula for price elasticity of demand, use the values above to get the change in quantity demanded Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in Prices) For ambulatory mental health services, Percentage change in quantity demanded / -37.5% -0.8 Percentage change in quantity demanded (0.8 * 37.5%) = 30% With the new prices, quantity demanded has increased by 30%.
For general ambulatory medical services, -0.3 Percentage change in quantity demanded / -37.5% Percentage change in quantity demanded = (0.3 *37.5%)= 11.25% With the new prices, quantity demanded has increased by 11.25% Though spending on these services actually decreased, as it can be shown by multiplying the new price with new quantity demanded. For ambulatory mental health services, Taking old prices as P and old quantity demanded as Q, new =0.625P. New quantity demanded would be (1 0.3) * Q = 1.3Q. prices would be (1 -0.375) * P Therefore, spending has decreased, and it decreased by (1 0.8125)* 100 18.75%. new spending would be (0.625P) (1.3Q) 0.8125PQ. This shows that new For general ambulatory medical services, Taking old prices as P and old quantity demanded as Q, new =0.625P. New quantity demanded would be (1 0.1125)* Q prices would be (1 -0.375) * P 1.1125Q. #
Therefore, new spending would be (0.625P) (1.1125Q) 0.6953125Q. This shows that new spending has decreased, and it decreased by (1 - 0.6953125)* 100 = 30.46875%, that is around 30.47%.

A newspaper columnist, writing about the US health care system, concluded: "US health care costs are rising so rapidly because a much larger percentage of Americans now have health insurance to pay for their medical bills. The increase in health insurance coverage in the US resulted in a decline in out of pocket spending by individuals from roughly 65 percent to roughly 20 percent from 1950 to 2016. This change led to a 500 percent increase in real per capita...
4. The price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -4. Show all work. a. How much will a 10 percent reduction in the quantity placed on the market increase the price? (You can state your answer as a percentage.) b. In part a, will total spending on gasoline rise or fall? By what percentage? You can use an approximation to compute the change in total spending.
" Rising prices for health-care services and insurance continued to drive up health spending in 2018, even as the amount of health care Americans used remained steady. National health spending reached $3.6 trillion — about $11,172 per person — in 2018, a 4.6% increase from the previous year, according to an annual report by the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, published online in Health Affairs. CMS researchers found that the rise in overall...

For most products and services, managers know that raising prices will reduce demand, while lowering prices will increase demand. What managers don’t always know is how much demand will change in response to a change in price. In economics, the sensitivity of demand to changing prices is called the price elasticity of demand (PED). It is computed by dividing the percentage change in demand by the percentage change in price. Although PED will be negative in most cases, indicating an...
