Answer to Question 1

Marginal benefit is the additional benefit received from continuing with an activity.

Answer to Question 2

We must first calculate the opportunity costs of the production of both goods for both nations. The opportunity cost of cotton in Australia is 1/3 of a ton of wheat for each ton of cotton (600 C = 150W). The opportunity cost of cotton in New Zeland is three tons of wheat (200C = 600W). Therefore, Australia enjoys a comparative advantage in the production of cotton. The opportunity cost of wheat in Australia is therefore 1 wheat = 3 tons of cotton. The opportunity cost of wheat in New Zealand is 1 wheat = 1/3 cotton. Therefore, New Zealand enjoys a comparative advantage in the production of wheat.

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.
