Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following information:
J&J is a major manufacturer of the flu vaccine in the U.S. J&J manufactures the vaccine before the flu season at a cost of $8 per dose (a ``dose'' is vaccine for one person). During the flu season J&J sells doses to health-care providers for $24. However, sometimes the flu season is mild and not all doses are sold --- if a dose is not sold during the season then it is worthless and must be thrown out.
