Answer to Question 1

Students might answer that they use economics as a tool when they budget their student aid and when they decided which college to at-tend based on the costs of their options. Both instances deal with micro-economics. A business uses economics as a tool when it decides the price it charges for its product and the salaries it pays its managers. Both instances are microeconomic examples. The government use economics as a tool when it decides whether to increase taxes on cigarettes or lower the interest rate. The first example is microeconomic in nature and the second involves macroeconomics.

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.
