Answer to Question 1

Average fixed costs should rise since the fixed costs will be spread over fewer units. With higher average fixed costs this should also push up the average total cost as well.

Answer to Question 2

The drop-in-the-bucket problem is that public goods are usually so expensive that their provision generally does not depend on whether or not any single person pays. Their contribution is considered to be a drop in the bucket.

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.
