Answer to Question 1

When Jake provides the 50,000 to finance his farm's operations, he forgoes the 2,500 in interest. Thus the opportunity cost of the 50,000 is the interest income forgone and so the 2,500 is an opportunity cost of running the farm.

Answer to Question 2

C

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.
