Answer to Question 1

a. The price will be 90 per month and the quantity will be 20,000 households.
b. The price will be 30 per month and the quantity will be 40,000 households.
c. This rule results in the efficient level of production.
d. The price will be 60 per month and the quantity will be 30,000 households.
e. This rule results in the firm making a normal profit.

Answer to Question 2

Car insurance companies often do not pay the full cost of repair when the policy buyers have accidents. Such practices help in reducing the problem of moral hazard that may otherwise arise. If the insurers pay the full amount required for repair, drivers are more likely to drive recklessly and have accidents because they do not have to pay for the damage.

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.
