Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Public health economics focuses on producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services related to public health. Economics is the science concerned with the use of resources, including the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Health economics is the allocation of scarce resources within the health care sector and the focus on resource allocation issues related to producing and distributing health care. Public health finance involves the ac-quiring, managing, and use of monies to improve the health of populations through disease pre-vention and health promotion strategies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Supply and demand is in force when few goods or services are available, and then the price tends to rise. The other examples do not demonstrate the use of the laws of supply and demand.
