Answer to Question 1

Consumer surplus refers to the maximum amount a buyer would be willing to pay for a good or service less the price he or she actually pays. Producer surplus refers to the amount a seller receives for a good or service beyond the minimum he or she would be willing to sell the good for. Cooperative surplus is the sum of all the net benefits received by the parties to a transaction, so it is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus.

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.
