Answer to Question 2

The marginal propensity to consume, or MPC, is the change in consumption expenditure divided by the change in disposable income. The MPC tells the proportion of any change in disposable income spent on consumption expenditure. The marginal propensity to consume is equal to the slope of the consumption function.

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.
