Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

AC = 100/q + 4q. This is minimized when dAC/dq = 0, or -100/q2 + 4 = 0. Solving yields q = 5 and AC = 40. Thus a price greater than 40 is required for the firm to earn profit. AVC = 4q and MC = 8q. Since AVC is below MC for all levels of output, AVC will be less than price for all levels of output. The firm will not shut down in the short run.

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.
