Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The demand curve facing a perfectly competitive firm is horizontal at the prevailing market price. In other words, the perfect competitor does not influence market price; rather it takes the price as given. A firm in an oligopolistic industry can influence market price and therefore faces a downward-sloping demand curve. But not much else can be said about its demand curve because firms in oligopolistic industries are interdependent, that is, each firm reacts to its rivals' behaviors, or at least, to what it thinks its rivals will do. Consequently, it is difficult to determine an individual oligopolist's demand curve.

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.
