Answer to Question 1

The statement is false. Marginal revenue is less than price for a monopolist (at every level of output except for the first unit). This is due to the fact that the demand curve facing a monopolist is downward sloping. When a monopolist increases output by one unit, he must lower the price on all units sold. This means that the increase in revenue will be less than the price of the good.

Answer to Question 2

D

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.
