Several years ago there was extensive coverage in the U.S.A over the pricing of the Epipen® auto-injector for injecting adrenaline (epinephrine) which had increased from USD 165 for a set of 2 in 2011 to USD 609 in 2016, making the life-saving medication (which has only a 12-month shelf-life) unaffordable for many. 

It should be noted that the adrenaline is reported to cost ~1c per dose.  The high cost is related to the auto-injector for which there were (controversially) no FDA-approved generic equivalents until august of 2018. Hence the company were effectively allowed a monopoly on the product.

a.       Why would a situation such as this not arise for consumers in Australia?  (1 mark)

b.       The current dispensed price for a single dose pen for adrenaline in Australia is $84.21 and there are two brands listed on the PBS?  How much is the consumer likely to pay? (3 marks)

The different forces to which the brain is subjected during an injury play a large role in the type of injury that occurs.  Consider the differences between the type and extent of injuries that result from linear forces such as in a whiplash injury compared with those from the rotational forces that occur in a high-speed vehicle accident. 

1. What type(s) of injury would you expect in each case?
2. What areas of the brain are most likely to be affected and what impact does this have on subsequent function?
3. Which type of injury is more severe and why?

When a Plasmodium parasite infects an erythrocyte, it exports proteins to modify the surface of the host cell. Why doesn't the host immune system recognise this modification and remove the infected cell from the environment?

Select one:

1. The exported proteins are similar to host surface proteins so the immune system does not attack them
2. The exported proteins constantly vary in sequence causing confusion of the immune system
3. Infected cells bind to the inside of the host blood vessels and immune cells bypass them
4. The process happens so fast that the host immune system can't keep up

The market demand function for corn is Qd = 15 - 2P and the market supply function is Qs = 5P -2.5, both measured in billions of bushels per year. The initial equilibrium price is $2.50, and the initial equilibrium quantity is 10 billion bushels. Consumer surplus is $25, producer surplus is $10, and aggregate surplus is $35. Suppose the government gives corn farmers a subsidy of $0.70 per bushel of corn. What will be the effects on aggregate surplus, consumer surplus, and producer surplus? What will be the deadweight loss created by the subsidy?

The market demand function for corn is

Q^d = 12 - 4P
