Answer to Question 1

Horizontal price-fixing is the agreement between competitors on the prices at which they will buy or sell products or services. Horizontal price-fixing is a per se violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Vertical price-fixing occurs when a manufacturer sets the minimum or maximum prices its distributors can charge. Resale price maintenance (RPM) is vertical minimum price-fixing, and in 1911 the Supreme Court held RPM to be a per se violation of the Sherman Act. However, in 2007, the Court reversed itself and held that RPM is a rule of reason violation. Vertical maximum price-fixing is also a rule of reason violation of the Sherman Act. The defendant is liable only if the price-fixing harms competition.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

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.
