Answer to Question 1

If the dollar is overvalued, that means that the current exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) is greater than the relative purchasing power of the dollar. This implies that currency traders will reduce their holdings of dollars (the supply curve for dollars will shift to the right) and increase their holdings of other currencies against which the dollar is overvalued. As the supply of dollars increases, the exchange rate will fall. The exchange rate will continue to fall until the dollar's value accurately reflects its relative purchasing power.

Answer to Question 2

A

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.
