Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Firms that are price takers will decide how much to produce based on the given market price. The quantity at which the marginal cost of producing the last unit of a good is equal to any given market price determines the firm's supply decisions. However, monopolists do not vary their production based on market price because they set the price; it is not relevant to ask how much of a good a monopolist will produce at a given price. Since a monopolist's production decision is based on demand, it cannot be depicted as an independent supply curve (keep in mind that the supply curve is willingness to sell at various prices, regardless of demand). A monopolist chooses both price and quantity.

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.
