Answer to Question 1

A trend analysis is an examination of the financial performance of a company over time. First the data to be tracked is selected and collected over time, usually several years. Then an analysis is made relative to the company's performance over the time period.

Answer to Question 2

An external assessment is used to identify opportunities for future successes and threats that the company may face. This assessment should include current and prospective customers as well as current and prospective competitors. It should also consider the forecast bargaining power of suppliers and customers as well as the potential future impact of technology, government, demographics, culture, and economics. The external assessment provides a forecast context or background for the development of a strategic plan.

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.
