Consider the measurement of prices in the medical sector, where there is rapid innovation.
Consider the case of a medical check-up for pregnant women. Assume that this service is
privately provided. Suppose that a new ultrasound method is introduced. In the first year that
this new method is available, half of doctors offer the new method and half offer the old
method. Pregnant women frequent both doctors. A checkup using the new method costs 10%
more than a check-up using the old one.
1. In percentage terms, how much of a quality increase does the new method represent
compared to the old method?
Now suppose that in addition, in the first year the new method is offered, the price of check-
ups with the new method is 15% higher than the price of check-ups in the previous year (when
everyone used the old method).
2. How much of the higher price of checkups using the new method reflects a true price
increase and how much represents a quality increase? How much higher is the quality-…
Variables typically included in a multivariate supply function (other than the price and quantity of the item the supply function represents) are prices of other goods that use similar input resources for production, the number of suppliers, techniques of production, taxes and subsidies, prices of input resources, weather, and expectations. Please answer the following questions about the affect changes in other variables might have on the supply of the item. These changes will either cause supply to increase (shift right) or decrease (shift left). Use either word as applicable, for the short answer.
1. If the market price of gasoline returns to the near $4.00 per gallon level then demand for gas-gulping large autos is likely to decrease and manufacturers of these autos are likely to _____________ their supply:
2. A relative increase in the productivity of the technology used to produce the item being considered is likely to _____________________ its supply.

Case 1: A local bakery has noticed a decrease in the demand for their pastries. They found out that a new bakery in town is offering similar pastries at a lower price. What should the local bakery do based on demand analysis? Case 2: A clothing store wants to estimate the demand for a new line of summer dresses. They have historical sales data for similar dresses. What method should they use for demand estimation? Case 3: A tech company is launching a new product. They want to forecast the demand for the product for the next year. They don't have historical sales data for similar products. What method should they use for demand forecasting? Case 4: A manufacturing company is trying to determine the cost of producing a new product. They know that the cost of raw materials and labor will increase with the number of units produced, but the cost of the machinery will remain the same regardless of the number of units produced. How should they categorize these costs in their cost analysis?…
