Answer:  Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.

Explanation:

Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.

In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.

luda_lava [24]

To obtain $225,000 in 18 years it is necessary to save or invest at least  1,041.66 every month and 12,500 every year.

We know the total money that needs to be saved to cover college education is $225,000 and the time to save up this money is 18 years. Based on these two details, let's find out how much you need to save every month and every year.

Total of months:

  • 12 months x 18 years = 216 months.

The total you need to save per month:

  • $225,000 / 216 = 1,041.66.

The total you need to save per year:

  • 1,041.66 x 12 = 12,499.99 that can be rounded as 12,500.

Note: This question seems to be incomplete; however, I answered it based on the information provided.
