(The sixth one, in economics, was added later.) a. If he wanted the cash award of each of the five prizes to be $45,000 and his estate could earn 8% per year, how much would he need to fund his prizes? b.

If they had been able to keep the amount of money you calculated in b and had invested it at 8% per year, how much would they have in 2008 , 112 years after he died? a.
