- 8 An investor with initial wealth $20000 and utility function U(x) = ln(x) is considering an investment that has a 80% chance of gaining r% and a 20% chance of losing s%. (1) Find in terms of r and s the certainty equivalent of this investment. (2) If s = 10, find the range of values of r for which the investor will avoid this investment.,Suppose that an individual is just willing to accept a gamble to win or lose $1000 if the probability ofwinning is 0.6. Suppose that the utility gained if the individual wins is 100 utils. What is expected gains/loss.A person has an expected utility function of the form u(w) = w0.5 . He initially has wealth of $4. He has a lottery ticket that will be worth $12 with probability 1/2 and will be worth $0 with probability 1/2. What is his expected utility? What is the lowest price p at which he would part with the ticket?
- Question 2 A potential criminal enjoys a gain of g > 0 from committing an illegal act. If the potential criminal does not commit the act, he gets a gain equal to g = 0. The expected punishment upon conviction is p (e.g. number of years in prison), but there is the possibility of legal error. In particular, if the criminal commits the act, there is a probability r that he will not be punished, and if the criminal did not commit the act, there is a probability q that he will be punished regardless. a. Derive the net gain (i.e. gain minus expected punishment) for the criminal from not committing the illegal act. b. Use your answer in a. to derive the condition for the criminal to commit the illegal act. Show and explain every step of your calculations. c. Lawmakers decided to further increase the standard of proof for a criminal conviction. How will this change a ect the criminal’s decision to commit the illegal act in your answer in b.?Suppose that an individual is just willing to accept a gamble to win or lose $1000 if the probability ofwinning is 0.6. Suppose that the utility gained if the individual wins is 100 utils. How much utility does one lose if one loses the gamble?Question 4 Suppose a prosecutor expects to convict a defendant with probability 0.5 and that the sentence on conviction is 10 years in prison. Assume the prosecutor values prison time at $1,000 per year (its value as a deterrent of crime), and incurs a cost of trial equal to $2,000. a. What is the minimum prison sentence the prosecutor will o er as part of a plea bargain if her objective is to maximize the expected value of the sentence imposed, less the cost of trial (ignore the information provided in b. below to answer this question a.)? b. Suppose the defendant believes his chances of being convicted are 0.3, his cost of prison time is $5,000 per year, and his cost of a trial is $1,000. Will he accept the plea bargain in a.?
- The Healthcare Managers Team Challenge Question: Considering the same graph above, and assume that the probability of a hurricane in Springfield is 23% this coming summer: a) calculate the expected wealth and utility of the Simpson's residence; b) explain why Homer Simpson is likely to buy insurance, or why he might not be wanting to buy insurance. Note that if the hurricane takes place the value of the Simpsons' wealth will be $10,000. but if there is no hurricane, their wealth will remain at $20,000.Consider Bob's decision problem: Sunny Cloudy Rainy Beach 2 3 2 Park 3 3 2 Mall -1 1 x Suppose the probability of Sunny is 0.25, the probability of Cloudy is 0.25, and the probability of Rainy is 0.5. What is the smallest value of x for which Mall is an expected utility maximiser? Round your answer to one decimal place (e.g. 0.5).Adam is considering what skills to study in online school. Her utility function is based on the income she earns, and is defined by U(I) = I0.8. If she learns the skill of SPSS, she will earn $145,000 per year with probability 1. If she learns the skill of Tableau, she will earn $300,000 per year with probability 0.6 (assuming that she gets the certificate) and $30,000 with probability 0.4 (if she learns without earning a certificate and she has to find a waiter job). a. Is she risk averse, risk neutral, or risk loving? Explain.b. Write out the equation for her expected utility for each skill. c.Which skill will she learn? Show your work. d.Suppose someone offers her insurance for the possibility that she does not get a Tableau certificate. This insurance will provide her an amount of income in addition to the waiter job wages that makes her indifferent between learning SPSS and Tableau. What is this amount, and what is the cost of the insurance? (note: many possible answers)
- Subject 2 A bottle company ALPHA, is considering creating a new bottle of 0.25 lt. To decide whether to invest in this projector not, they performed market research that costed €5,000. The results indicated two possible scenarios that depend on the competitor's reaction to create a similar product and on the percentage of the faithful customers of ALPHA. ScenarioA has a 45% chanceto be realized, while scenarioB has a probability of 55%. For the project's realization the company must purchase specialmachinery that cost €80,000, while transportation and installation costs amount to €2,000. The useful life of the project is two years, and the machinery can be sold at the end of the useful life for €30,000.Table 1 presents the pertinenteconomic data. At the end of the second year the working capital is going to be recaptured. The tax rate is 25%, the weighted average cost of capital is 10% and the company fully depreciates fixed assets for tax purposes, using the straight-line depreciation…The investor is considering how to optimally invest 1000 euros in stocks and bonds. Let's assume that the optimal decision is made based on expected utility. Suppose the investor has a utility function u(x)=ln(1+x), where x is their wealth. Let y be the proportion invested in stocks and 1−y be the proportion invested in bonds. By investing in stocks, the investor earns 1% with a probability of 39.5% and 4% with a probability of 60.5%. By investing in bonds, the investor earns a certain 2.8%. What proportion of the investment will the investor allocate to stocks and what proportion to bonds?Microeconomics Wilfred’s expected utility function is px1^0.5+(1−p)x2^0.5, where p is the probability that he consumes x1 and 1 - p is the probability that he consumes x2. Wilfred is offered a choice between getting a sure payment of $Z or a lottery in which he receives $2500 with probability p = 0.4 and $3700 with probability 1 - p. Wilfred will choose the sure payment if Z > CE and the lottery if Z < CE, where the value of CE is equal to ___ (please round your final answer to two decimal places if necessary)
