Answer to Question 1

The Transactions Motive: balances held for transaction purposes allow the firm to meet its cash needs that arise in the
ordinary course of doing business. The Precautionary Motive: precautionary balances serve as a buffer. This motive for
holding cash relates to the maintenance of balances used to satisfy possible, but as yet unknown, needs. The
Speculative Motive: cash is held for speculative purposes in order to take advantage of potential profit-making
situations. Construction firms that build private dwellings will, at times, accumulate cash in anticipation of a
significant drop in lumber costs.

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.
