Answer to Question 1

The marginal rate of substitution is a consumer's willingness to trade one good for another based on utility. The marginal rate of transformation is the consumer's ability to trade one good for another based on prices.

Answer to Question 2

False. This describes the slope of the indifference curve. The slope of the budget line represents the rate at which the consumer must trade one good for another at any given bundle.

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.
