During the subprime mortgage crisis in the USA, the housing market suffered the worst slump in nearly two decades. Hot housing markets like Boston, Ft. Lauderdale-Florida, and Washington DC cooled as rising interest rates and tightened lending standards eliminated lots of potential buyers. With job losses in the auto industry, the housing downturn was especially serious in Detroit and surrounding areas. Suppose a real estate speculator (مضارب في قطاع العقارات) seeking to profit from the downturn bought a pool of home mortgages for $1 million on the expectation of quickly selling them to out-of-town investors for $1.5 million. If the deal falls through إذا فشلت الصفقة , the speculator would be able to just as quickly dump the pool of home mortgages in the secondary marketيتخلص من الصفقة عن طريق بيعها في السوق الثانوي for $800,000. Calculate the speculator's expected payoff if there is a 50/50 chance of successfully selling the pool of home mortgages to out-of-town investors. Calculate…
A manager must determine which of two products to market. From market studies, the manager constructed the following payoff matrix of the present value of all future net profits under all the different possible states of the economy: State of the economy Product 1 Product 2 Probability Profit ($) Probability Profit ($) Boom 0.2 50 0.2 30 Normal 0.5 20 0.4 20 Recession 0.3 0 0.4 10 The manager’s utility function for money is U = 100M – M2 where U is the total utility of money (in utils) and M refers to the dollars of profit. Determine if this manager a risk seeker, risk neutral, or a risk averter. Explain your answer. If the manager’s objective was profit maximization regardless of risk (أي دون أخذ المخاطرة بعين الاعتبار), which product should the manager introduces? Explain your answer. Evaluate the risk associated per dollar of profit with each product, i.e. find the coefficient of variation for each project.…
Asma has a credit card account with Bank Muscat. The bank is considering whether to raise Asma’s credit card interest rate. Asma can respond by moving to National bank of Oman (NBO) or do nothing. If Bank Muscat raises Asma’s interest rate and Asma does nothing, then Bank Muscat increases profit by 300 OMR while Asma receives -300 OMR. If Bank Muscat raises Asma’s interest rate and Asma transfers her account to NBO then Bank Muscat receives -150 and Asma receives 100 OMR. If Bank Muscat does nothing and Asma does nothing, then both gets 0 OMR. If Bank Muscat does nothing and Asma transfer her account to NBO then Bank Muscat receives -150 while Asma receives -75 OMR. Draw the game with the help of a tree chart. If you are a bank manager of the Bank Muscat, then what is the best strategy for you. What is the best strategy if you are helping Asma with her decision?

An amount of money is accumulating; in period t (= 1, 2, . . . , T) its size is $2t. In each period two people simultaneously decide whether to claim the money. If only one person does so, she gets all the money; if both people do so, they split the money equally; and if neither person does so, both people have the opportunity to do so in the next period. If neither person claims the money in period T, each person obtains $T. Each person cares only about the amount of money she obtains. Formulate this situation as an extensive game with perfect information and simultaneous moves, and find its subgame perfect equilibria). (Start by considering the cases T = 1 and T = 2.)

Consider the following compound lottery, described in words: "The probability that the price of copper increases tomorrow is objectively determined to be 0.5. If it increases, then tomorrow I will flip a coin to determine a monetary payout that you will receive: if the flip is Heads, you win $100, while if it is Tails, you win $50. If it does not increase, then I will roll a 10-sided die (assume each side is equally likely to be rolled). If the die roll is a 4 or lower, you will win $100. If it is a 5, then you will win $200, and if it is a 6 or greater, you will win $50." Fill in the blanks below for the reduced lottery that corresponds to this compound lottery (write in decimals). R= ( , $50; , $100; , $200)
**Practice** suppose that many insurance companies sell contracts of the following format:- The insurance premium P is the same for everyone in this market, regardless of the value of their cell phone. That’s because regulations prevent the companies from charging different premiums based on cell phone value. - If the cell phone is stolen, they get the value of the phone back (that is, Anne would get$700 from the insurance company if her phone were stolen, and Bob would get $600) Assume that the insurance companies are all risk-neutral and that market is competitive, and so the contract is such that the insurance companies have zero profits. Also assume that 50% of consumers in the market are identical to Anne, and 50% are identical to Bob. What is the actuarially fair premium and who buys the full insurance plan?a. The actuarially fair premium is 260 and only Bob buys itb. The actuarially fair premium is 130 and both Anne and Bob buy itc.The actuarially fair premium is 180 and both…
