Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The HHI equals 202 + 202 + 152 + 102 + 102 + 82 + 72 + 52 + 52 = 1388. With this HHI, the concentration ratio is low and so the market is monopolistic competition.

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.
