Question 2

Simon is given a free ticket to see Coldplay Saturday night. He already has a ticket to see Sting in concert that night. The Sting ticket cost Simon 50 though he would have paid as much as 80 to go to the show.
 
  Simon knows that he can easily sell the Sting ticket on Craigslist for 60. What is his opportunity cost of seeing Coldplay?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

If Simon did not go to Coldplay, he would see Sting, since he values seeing Sting for more than the resale value of the ticket. If he goes to Coldplay he can sell the Sting ticket, making an economic loss of 20 (80 - 60). Thus, the opportunity cost of seeing Coldplay is 20. Note: the 50 is not relevant in the calculations because the resale value is 60, not 50.

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.
