- Uncertainty and willingness to pay for insurance. Utility = (Wealth)1/3 Prob(flood) = .04 Prob(no flood) = .96 Total wealth if flood = $100,000. Total Wealth if no flood = $800,000. Find: (i) expected value, (ii) expected utility, (iii) certainty equivalent, and (iv) maximum willingness to pay for a policy that provides 100% flood insurance coverage. Draw the utility function and include all solved values on the diagram. What is the average gross profit per insurance customer, if each customer is charged his own maximum willingness to pay?Q1) An expected utility maximiser owns a car worth £60000£60000 and has a bank account with £20000£20000. The money in the bank is safe, but there is a 50%50% probability that the car will be stolen. The utility of wealth for the agent is u(y)=ln(y)u(y)=ln(y) and they have no other assets. Q2) Consider the setup from Question 1. A risk-neutral insurance company is willing to insure the car at the premium of π=£2/3π=£2/3 for every one pound of coverage. Q3) Consider the setup from Questions 1 and 2. How much profits, in expectation, does the insurance company earn on insuring the individual?Consider an individual with an expected utility function of the form u(w) = √wwhere wrep-resents this individual’s wealth. This individual currently has wealth of $100. This individualfaces a risk of losing $64 with a probability of (1/2). The maximum price that this individualwould pay for insurance that covers the entire $64 loss is?
- 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)Michael lives on an island and owns a beach house worth $400,000. Of that, $100,000 is the cost of land and $300,000 is the cost of the structure. The probability that a hurricane destroys his house is 3percent (he will still own the land). Michael can purchase hurricane insurance at the price of $2for each $100 of coverage. 1. What is Michael’s contingent consumption bundle if Michael does not purchase insuranceA risk-averse agent, Andy, has power utility of consumption with riskaversion coefficient γ = 0.5. While standing in line at the conveniencestore, Andy hears that the odds of winning the jackpot in a new statelottery game are 1 in 250. A lottery ticket costs $1. Assume his income isIt = $100. You can assume that there is only one jackpot prize awarded,and there is no chance it will be shared with another player. The lotterywill be drawn shortly after Andy buys the ticket, so you can ignore therole of discounting for time value. For simplicity, assume that ct+1 = 100even if Andy buys the ticket How large would the jackpot have to be in order for Andy to play thelottery? b) What is the fair (expected) value of the lottery with the jackpot youfound in (a)? What is the dollar amount of the risk premium that Andyrequires to play the lottery? Solve for the optimal number of lottery tickets that Andy would buyif the jackpot value were $10,000 (the ticket price, the odds of winning,and Andy’s…
- 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.John is a farmer with $225 of wealth. He can either plant corn or beans. If he plants corn, John earns an income of $675 if the weather is GOOD and $0 if the weather is BAD. If he plants beans, John earns an income of $451 under both GOOD and BAD weather. The probability of GOOD weather is 0.7. The probability of BAD weather is 0.3. John’s utility function is U(c) = 5√c , where c is the value of consumption. Mae owns an insurance company in a nearby town and has decided to offer conventional crop insurance to corn farmers in the area. Assume that Mae has perfect information and can write and enforce an insurance contract that requires the farmer to plant corn. Here’s how the insurance contract works. At the beginning of the year, the corn farmer pays an insurance premium of $202.5. If the weather is GOOD, Mae makes no payment to the farmer. If the weather is BAD, Mae makes an indemnity payment of $675 to the farmer. a. If a farmer buys this insurance contract,what is Mae’s expected…Exercise 3: Risky Investment Charlie has von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function u(x) = ln x and has wealth W = 250, 000. She is offered the opportunity to purchase a risky project for price P = 160, 000. 1 1 With probability p = 2 the project will be a success and return V > 160, 000. With probability 1 −p = 2 the project will fail and be worthless (i.e. it returns 0). For simplicity assume there is no interest between the time of the investment and the time of its return, that is r = 0 . How large must V be in order for Charlie to want to purchase the risky project? [Hint: What is Charlie’s expected utility is she does not purchase the project? What is Charlie’s expected utility is she purchases the project?]
- Setup from Question 1) An expected utility maximiser owns a car worth £60000 and has a bank account with £20000. The money in the bank is safe, but there is a 50% probability that the car will be stolen. The utility of wealth for the agent is u(y)=ln(y) and they have no other assets. Setup from question 2)Consider the setup from Question 1. A risk-neutral insurance company is willing to insure the car at the premium of π=£2/3 for every one pound of coverage. Question 3:a. Suppose that you took part in a lottery that has a chance to increase, decrease or have no effect on your level of income. With probability 0.5, your income remains at it original level K500; with 0.2 probability, your income increases to K700; and with probability 0.3, your income decreases to K400. The utility function is.u（1） =I^0.7where I denote income leveli.Using the utility function show that the consumer's risk preference is averse. (2marks)ii.Calculate both the EU and EV of the income. (4marks)iii.Using the results in (il) above, indicate the attitude to risk of this consumer. (2marks)Consider an insurance contract with the premium r=$200 and payout q=$800. a.) John has healthy-state income IH = $900 and sick-state income IS = $100. He has probability of illness p = 0.2. Is the contract fair and/or full for John? What is John’s expected income WITHOUT this insurance contract? What is John’s expected income WITH this insurance contract?
