Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Price elasticity of demand provides a measure of the sensitivity of consumer demand for a product or product category to changes in price. Elasticity is formally defined as the percentage change in quantity demanded relative to a given percentage change in price. For a product with highly elastic demand, a relatively small increase in price results in a huge change in quantity sold. Non-essential items or those with ready substitutes tend to have more elastic demand. If marketers can determine the price elasticity of demand for a product, setting a price is easier. By analyzing total revenues as prices change, marketers can determine whether a product is price elastic. Total revenue is price multiplied by quantity. If demand is elastic, a shift in price causes an opposite change in total revenue: An increase in price will decrease total revenue, and a decrease in price will increase total revenue. The following formula determines the price elasticity of demand: price elasticity of demand =  change in quantity demanded/  change in price.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
