Figure 1
1. Line D0 above represents consumer demand for Salud
Digna’s optometry
services in her satellite clinics. A shift in market demand
occurs when factor(s)
other than price affects quantity demanded. For Figure 1,
describe a scenario
that could explain an outward shift in consumer demand for
optometry
services provided by SD’s satellite clinics from D0 to D2.

A shift in market supply occurs when factor(s) other than price
affects
quantity supplied. For Figure 2, describe the scenario
presented in the Salud
Digna case that could explain an outward shift in the market
supply of
dialysis services from S0 to S1.

3. Assuming that the theory of supply explains behavior, if
Mexico Americano’s
costs for MRI scans drops because of reduced resource costs for
equipment
and material in the market for MRI scans, will that lead Salud
Digna to:
a. Increase the volume of MRI scans provided to its patients
b. Decrease the volume of MRI scans provided to its patients
c. Maintain the same level of MRI scans provided to its patients
d. Cannot be determined

4. In Figure 3 above, dotted lines show various price points and
corresponding
demand for Pregnancy Tests among fertility aged Mexican
women. Shade the
triangle(s) that would indicate shortage in the supply of
pregnancy tests.
5. If in Figure 3, E correctly depicts a point of equilibrium
price, quantity
demanded and quantity supplied, does it represent a model of
perfect
competition:
a. YES
b. NO
c. Cannot be determined from this figure
6. Assuming that the theory of demand explains behavior, if a
consumer has a
budget constraint does this mean that that he/she:

5. a. Has to balance indifference for goods that satisfy utility
b. Has limited ability to move to a higher equilibrium price if
current prices
increase
c. Cannot increase quantity demanded without a positive change
in income
d. All of the above

7. Figure 4 shows supply (S) and demand (D) for diabetes tests.
If the graph
correctly depicts a competitive market for all patients, does
point P represent:

6. a. Efficiency
b. Breakeven
c. Profit Maximization
d. All of the above

8. Using Figure 5, if Salud Digna forgoes profit maximization
to meet consumer
demand for Pap tests, at what level of (Q) will it produce:
a. Q 1
b. Q 2
Demand for Pap Tests

7. 9. The hypothetical Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for
screening exams relative
to the price of travel for rural Mexicans to a Salud Digna clinic
is 3.5; meaning
that for every 10% increase in the price of travel, the demand
for screening
exams decreases by 35%. Identify the Elasticity line in Figure
6 that describes
the PED of screening exams relative to travel costs.

10. If the PED for an electrocardiogram performed in a hospital
is 4.1 and new
employees with the government who are required to get an EKG
must pay the
out-of-pocket difference not covered by public insurance; would
a new
employee most likely: (Circle the letter of your response)
a. Use Salud Digna outpatient EKG services as substitute for
hospital care
b. Use Salud Digna outpatient EKG services as a complement to
hospital care
c. Neither of the above
11. Match the Mexican health insurance plans to following

13. The data below compares the financial ratios of Quest
Diagnostics (the
world’s largest, for-profit, medical diagnostics firm) to the US
medical diagnostics
industry average. In the Salud Digna case, the organization
needed to decide
between remaining as an NGO or converting to for-profit
corporation.
Using the data, compare these ratios to the financial ratios you
calculated for
Salud Digna and present an argument in 100-150 words for
whether Salud Digna
should stay an NGO or convert to a for-profit entity.

use a benchmark of 3.1% (half of the US Industry Average) and

15. In 2012, Salud Digna was approved by the International
Development Bank
for a $7 million social impact bond issuance to finance the
development of new
clinics in Mexico. If an investor purchased $10,000 in these
bonds at a coupon
rate of 7.5% earned semi-annually, what will be the bond
proceeds for this
investor at the end of 10 years when the bond matures?
