Answer:
They would need to buy $64,068.981 in U.S treasury bonds on Ava's second birthday to ultimately provide $120,000 for college expenses in 16 years.
Explanation:
The initial amount to be invested in order to yield $120,000 after 16 years can be expressed as;
F.V=P.V(1+R)^n
where;
F.V=future value of investment
P.V=present value of investment
R=annual interest rate
n=number of years
In our case;
F.V=$120,000
P.V=unknown
R=4%=4/100=0.04
n=16 years
replacing;
120,000=P.V(1+0.04)^(16)
120,000=P.V(1.04)^16
120,000=1.873 P.V
P.V=120,000/1.873
P.V=$64,068.981
They would need to buy $64,068.981 in U.S treasury bonds on Ava's second birthday to ultimately provide $120,000 for college expenses in 16 years.

Answer: No, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
Explanation: An increase in demand of hand sanitizers due to the H1N1 flue will shift the demand curve for hand sanitizers to the right. The price of hand sanitizers will increase meaning that greater production levels are profitable. The firms can take advantage of this profitability by increasing manufacturing capacity. However, capacity will be increased for many years and the H1N1 flu is a temporary phenomenon. So, once the H1N1 flu is controlled demand for hand sanitizer is likely to return to previous levels. As a result the increased capacity will then remain idle and unprofitable. So, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
