You are considering entry into a market in which there is currently only one producer (incumbent). If you enter, the incumbent can take one of two strategies, price low or price high. If he prices high, then you expect a $60K profit per year. If he prices low, then you expect $20K loss per year. You should enter if you believe demand is inelastic. you believe the probability that the incumbent will price low is greater than 0.75. you believe the probability that the incumbent will price low is less than 0.75. you believe the market size is growing.
A major proposed industry in the future is the provision of global satellite wifi. However, the actual willingness to pay for such a service is unknown. Assume there's a 40% chance that there are 1 billion people willing to pay $100/year for a service that would cost $60/year to provide and a 60% chance that those people would be willing to pay $10/year for a service that would cost $60/year to provide. Assume that the enterprise involved with this risky industry has an interest rate or discount rate of 20%.a. What is the expected value, annually, of providing this service?b. Assume that you could spend $75 billion to launch a testbed of the program, that could then either be scrapped if the willingness to pay were $10 or continue at normal cost afterward (for simplicity, assume that the program will last forever and generate constant annual returns if it is continued) if the willingness to pay were $100. What is the net expected value of this testbed?

Suppose there are two types of people, high risk (H) and low risk (L) with utility function U(c) = c0.5 Each has income (=consumption) of $100. The high risk people are 10% of the population and have a 75% chance of getting cancer in which case their income would be zero. The low risk people are the remainder of the population and have a 25% chance of getting cancer and hence zero income. The private insurance industry is perfectly competitive. (a) Suppose private insurers are able to distinguish the two types. What market price would emerge for each risk type? How much insurance would each type purchase?

Firms A and B are contemplating whether or not to invest in R&D. Each has two options: “Invest” and “Abstain.” A firm that invests will invent product X with a probability of 0.5, whereas a firm that abstains is incapable of invention. Investment costs $6. If a firm doesn’t invent X, it makes $0 in revenue. If a firm invests and is the only one to invent X, it becomes a monopolist and generates $20 in revenue. If both firms invent X, each firm becomes a duopolist, and generates $8 in revenue. Revenues are gross figures (i.e. they are not net of investment costs), and there are no costs besides investments costs (i.e. no variable cost of production etc.). The firms are risk-neutral entities, and are uninformed of each other’s investment decisions. What is Firm A’s expected gross revenue (i.e., not net of investment costs) from investing, assuming Firm B invests (i.e. conditional on Firm B investing)? A) -$1B) $2C) $7D) $8E) None of the above
