Answer 1

The problem here is that your script executes before the document loads. Fix this by wrapping your script in a function and calling it after the document loads.

window.onload = function(){
var so1=0.07 * 16;
var so1a=so1 + 1.25;
var so1b=so1a.toFixed(2);
document.getElementById("so1c").innerHTML = so1b;
}

Answer 2

this seemed to work for me

window.onload = function(){
// your javascript code
}

putting this makes sure the document is completely loaded before you can manipulate the elements, otherwise you could be setting the inner HTML of an element that doesn't exist (not loaded yet)
