Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

The commission system is based on the amount of money the advertiser spends on media. Under this method, 15 percent of the total amount billed by the media organization is retained by the advertising agency as compensation for all costs in creating advertising for the client. This system can create pressure on agencies to recommend the most expensive media options.

With a fee system, compensation is based on an agreed-upon hourly rate for services provided. A variation on the fee system, the fixed-fee system, is based on a single fee charged for a project. Unless the agency and client agree precisely as to what services are covered by the fee, serious rifts can result.

Recently many advertisers and agencies alike have been working on compensation programs called pay-for-results that base the agency's fee on the achievement of agreed-upon results.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
