The firm increases profits from bigger sales by $300 per salesperson. Does the firm have incentive to monitor shirking in order to pay salespeople more for hard work

- JUST ANSWER SUBPART 1 There are two individuals, Individual A and Individual B. Individual A has an income (Y) of 500 million Rupiah per year. If Individual A is sick, he will lose 25% of his income. Meanwhile, Individual B has an income (Y) of 100 million Rupiah per year, and if Individual B is sick, he will lose 75% of his income. The probability of Individual A and Individual B being sick is the same, which is 10%. If the satisfaction level of Individual A and Individual B is determined by their income level, based on the following function U(Y)=ln Y, would Individual A and Individual B prefer not to have health insurance? Explain Faced with fair actuarially insurance, how much premium is offered to Individual A? Is the premium rate offered the same for Individual B? Explain with the support of graphic illustrations. The government decides to provide compulsory health insurance with a premium rate for Individual A and Individual B, which is 2% of the income of each individual. In…Suppose that there are two types of workers: high and low. Employers cannot distinguish between different types during an interview. Employers value high type at $200,000 and low type at $100,000. Employers are in a competitive market (i.e. zero profit applies). High type workers have a reservation wage of 140,000 and low type workers have a reservation wage of 80,000. Suppose that 50% of all workers are high type. The productivities, reservation wages, and the probabilities are common knowledge). What wage would the employers offer? Please explain the solution!ABC Explosives has purchased fire insurance for its factory. It can institute a fire prevention program, which would cost $90, but which would lower the probability of a fire from 0.01 to 0.001. The insurance company cannot determine whether ABC has instituted the program. However, it charges a deductible in the event of a fire (i.e. ABC has to pay a certain amount to the insurance company if a fire occurs). What is the smallest deductible that will encourage ABC to institute the fire prevention program?
- Your employer, an insurance company, would like to offer theft insurance for renters. The policy would pay the full replacement value of any items that were stolen from the apartment. Some apartments have security alarms installed. Such systems detect a break-in and ring an alarm within the apartment. The insurance company estimates that the probability of a theft in a year is .05 if there is no security system and .01 if there is a security system (there cannot be more than one theft in any year). An apartment with a security system costs the renter an additional $50 per year. Assume that: the dollar loss from a theft is $10,000, the insurance company is risk neutral, and the renter would be willing to pay more than the expected loss to insure against the loss of theft.

This could produce a substantial pay-off in terms of increased revenue net of costs but will require an investment of 1.4 million pesos. After extensive market research it is considered that there is a 40% chance that a pay-off of 2.5million will be obtained, but there is a 60% chance that it will be only 800,000 pesos. A smaller scale project to re-decorate her premises. At 500,000 pesos this is less costly but will produce a lower pay-off. Research data suggests a 30% chance of a gain of one million pesos but a 70% chance of being only 500,000 pesos. Continuing the present operation without change. It will cost nothing but neither will it produce any pay-off. Clients will be unhappy and it will become harder to rent the flats out when they become free. What is the best alternative? Use decision tree analysis.

- ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?Find the probability of rolling a standard 6-sided die 23 times and getting 10 or more twos. Select an answer Enter a decimal rounded to four places as needed.A few minutes ago, Joe Doe learned that his company was having a bad year and thus merit salary increases will be smaller than expected. His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability.
