5. Individual Problems 20-5 BPO Services is in the business of digitizing information from forms that are filled out by hand. In 2006, a big client gave BPO a distribution of the forms that it digitized in house last year, and BPO estimated how much it would cost to digitize each form. Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost A 0.5 $3.75 B 0.5 $1.25 The expected cost of digitizing a form is Suppose the client and BPO agree to a deal, whereby the client pays BPO to digitize forms. The price of each form processed is equal to the expected cost of the form that you calculated in the previous part of the problem. Suppose that after the agreement, the client sends only forms of type A. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is $ This leads to an expected loss of $ per form for BPO. (Hint: Do not round your answers. Enter the loss as a positive number.)

Gavin Jones’s friend is planning to invest $1 million in a rockconcert to be held 1 year from now. The friend figures that he will obtain $2.8 million revenue from his $1 million investment—unless it rains. If it rains, he will lose his entire investment. There is a 50% chance that it will rain the day of the concert. Gavin suggests that he buy rain insurance. He can buy one unit of insurance for $0.50, and this unit pays $1 if it rains and nothing if it does not. He may purchase as many units as he wishes, up to $2.8 million.(a) What is the expected rate of return on his investment if he buys u units of insurance? (The cost of insurance is in addition to his $1 million investment.)(b) What number of units will minimize the variance of his return? What is this minimum value? And what is the corresponding expected rate of them? [Hint: Before calculating a general expression for variance, think about a simple answer.]
