- 1. Priyanka has an income of £90,000 and is a von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility maximiser with von Neumann-Morgenstern utility index . There is a 1 % probability that there is flooding damage at her house. The repair of the damage would cost £80,000 which would reduce the income to £10,00 A. Would Priyanka be willing to spend £500 to purchase an insurance policy that would fully insure her against this loss? Explain. B. What would be the highest price (premium) that she would be willing to pay for an insurance policy that fully insures her against the flooding damage?Betty is looking for a job. She considers job opportunities intwo cities. Bettyís utility is given by y- x, where y is the lifetime income andx is the amount spent on buying a house. The income from City 1 fluctuatesalthough the house price is stable. On the contrary, the income from City2 is stable while the house price fluctuates. If she moves to City 1, Bettycan earn a lifetime income y1 with probability alpha and 1 + y1 with probability1-alpha . The house price in City 1 is x1. Moving to City 2 means that Bettycan earn an income of y2. However, the house price is x2 with probabilitygamma and 1 + x2 with probability 1-gamma . Do the following: (a) Write down theexpected utilities associated with living in the two respective cities, i.e., V1and V2. (b) Derive the condition under which Betty chooses City 1.#2. Hannah gets 50 utils from visiting her family for Thanksgiving. But there is a 1% chance that she will get the coronavirus from them. If she gets the coronavirus, her utility is -6000 utils. Her total utility would be -5950 (i.e. 50 – 6000). She gets 0 utils from staying healthy (total utility = 50 + 0 = 50). What is her expected utility? a. 50 utils b. -6 utils c. -10 utils d. -5999.5 utils e. -6000 utils f. None of these #3. Hannah gets 50 utils from visiting her family for Thanksgiving. But there is a 1% chance that she will get the coronavirus from them. If she gets the coronavirus, her utility is -6000 utils. Her total utility would be -5950 (i.e. 50 – 6000). She gets 0 utils from staying healthy (total utility = 50 + 0 = 50). If Hannah doesn't visit her family for Thanksgiving, then she gets -25 utils from eating turkey cold cuts alone in front of the TV. In that case, there is no risk of getting sick. What will Hannah do? a. Visit her family for Thanksgiving b. Not visit her…
- A consumer has utility u(x,y) = x^4 y^2 where x is this year’s consumption, and y is next year’s consumption. She makes 600 dollars income this year and 720 dollars income the next year. There is also a bank where she can borrow money at the interest rate r=%50 and lend money (to the bank) at the interest rate r=%20 (of course, she will decide to borrow or lend this year and pay off her debt or receive her savings the next year). a. Should she borrow money from or lend to the bank this year? How much b. If her utility were u(x,y) = xy2 instead, re-solving (a), would she borrow money or lend? How much? c. If her utility were u(x,y) = x^c y^2, what should “c” be so that she ends up neither borrowing nor lending?Suppose Jessica has two choices: receive $12000 and 30 utils or take a gamble that has a 55% chance of a $20000 and 45 utils, and a 45% chance of a $0 payoff and zero utility. Assuming Jessica is a utility maximizer, what will she likely choose? a) Jessica will not take the gamble b) Jessica will take the gamble c) It cannot be determined d) Jessica is indifferentSanjay won a poker game against his friends. Now he has to choose between $600 (the winnings) and the chance to play a new game. In this new game, Sanjay has a 50% chance of winning nothing and a 50% chance of winning $1000. The following graph presents the utility function of Sanjay with respect to money: 1. By how much money would his winnings need to increase or decrease so that Sanjay isindifferent between the $600 and the new game? At a different table, Juan wins $800 in a blackjack game. Similarly, he has to choose between $800 or the chance to win a new game. In this game, Juan has a 45% chance of winning nothing and a 55% chance of winning $1000. The following graph presents the utility function of Juan with respect to money: 2. By how much money would his winnings need to increase or decrease so that Juan is indifferent between the $800 and the new game? Please enter a positive number for an increase or a negative number for a decrease.
