about unit elasticity with respect to income and relatively inelastic with respect to price

Explanation:

The demand for health care in industrially advanced economies is about unit elasticity with respect to income and relatively inelastic with respect to price

Health is a necessity that is worth more than wealth and by so doing its demand is inelastic because people cannot afford to remain sick because the price of medication is too 'high' to pay. This underscores the reason why medical corporations try to fix prices for certain products and the government relentlessly keeps monitoring the price of those drugs so that people can afford them.

In relation to Income however, people tend to be willing to afford more health care in line with their level of income. This determines why health insurance companies sell different health packages to different class of workers according to their income level.

This statement is false for two reasons:

Most industrialized nations offer public health care services, only the US and Switzerland do not, so the private demand is virtually nonexistent. The few private health care providers are extremely expensive, so the demand is extremely price inelastic. In the US, the demand for health care is price inelastic, it has never been price elastic. Besides economic and social considerations about the price of healthcare, when you get sick, you want to get cured. You are not going from one clinic to another, or from one hospital to another checking which charges you a lower fee. You generally know what hospitals or clinics are more expensive than others on a general term, but not on every specific treatment.

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
