Answer to Question 1

Each firm has the possibility of sharing monopoly profits with other members of the cartel if each firm complies with the agreement. But each firm has an incentive to cheat on the collusive agreement in a cartel. If they all cheat, the outcome for each firm is worse than if they had all held to the agreement.

Answer to Question 2

The five main factors of production are labor, capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurial ability.

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.
