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.]

Mega Studios is thinking of producing a megafilm which could be a megahit or a megaflop. Profit is uncertain for two reasons: (1) the cost of producing the film may be low or high, and (2) the market reception for the film may be strong or weak. There is a 0.6 chance of low costs (and a 0.4 chance of high costs). The probability of strong demand is 0.5 (the probability of weak demand is 0.5). The studio’s profits (in millions of dollars) for the four possible outcomes are shown in the table: demand strong weak cost low 80 10 high 0 -70 a) Should the studio produce the film?

Quick answer please If you are currently a worker earning $60,000 per year but are considering becoming an entrepreneur. You will not switch unless you earn an accounting profit that is on average at least as great as your current Salary. You look into opening a small grocery store.

Suppose a company is hiring graduates from Harvard and Yale and they want to hire people with very high predicted productivity. All they use to predict productivity is where they went to school and their GPA. There is no difference in average true ability between students at Harvard and Yale. However, while Yale GPAs are excellent predictors of performance at this company, Harvard GPAs are not. The company hires very few graduates and the cutoff for expected productivity is well above average. What will be true about the GPA cutoffs for the two schools? A. The cutoff for Harvard will be higher.B. The cutoff for Yale will be higher.C. The cutoffs will be the same.D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
