Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

To determine Debbie's value added, we must find the additional market value she gives to the plates. For each plate, this is the difference between the price she charges the gallery and the cost of her raw materials. Her cost per plate is 400/50 or 8. Her value added per plate is 25 - 8 or 17. Her total value added for all 50 plates is 17  50 or 850. The gallery's value added per plate is 40 - 25 = 15. The total value added of the gallery for all 50 plates is 50  15 = 750.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
