- Assume that the probability of having an accident in a year is 0.08. Suppose that your yearly income is 50,000 TRY and in case of an accident your income drops to 15,000 TRY. Your utility function is U(?) = ln (?) where C is consumption. a) What is your expected utility at the end of the year without insurance?b) Calculate an actuarially fair insurance premium for the full insurance. c) What would your expected utility be if you purchase a full insurance with actuarially fair premium? Will you buy this insurance, why or why not?Angie owns an endive farm that will be worth $90,000 or $0 with equal probability. Her Bernouilli utility function is u(w) =√w, where w is her wealth level (sum of initial wealth and the worth of the endive farm). 1. Suppose her firm is the only asset she has, that is, she has no initial wealth. What is the lowest price P at which she will agree to sell her endive farm before she knows how much it will be worth? 2. Redo part (1) assuming that she has $160,000 in her bank safe. 3. Compare and discuss your results in parts (1) and (2). What relationship can you find between Angie’s initial wealth level (zero versus $160,000) and her risk aversion?Assume that you will earn $90,000 next year. The probability of having an accident in a year is 0.05 and your income will be $22,500 in that case. Your utility function is U(C)= C1/2 where C is consumption. a) What is your expected utility at the end of the year without insurance?b) Calculate an actuarially fair insurance premium for the full insurance. c) What would your expected utility be if you purchase a full insurance with actuarially fair premium? Will you buy this insurance, why or why not?
- Stewart will have a total wealth of $12,000 this year, if he stays healthy. Suppose Stewart has a 50% chance of staying healthy and a 50% chance of getting sick. If Stewart gets sick, then he will have to pay $8,000 for medical bills, leaving him $4,000 of total wealth. Under these conditions, Stewarts expected wealth (a.k.a. expected value of wealth) is $8,000. Based on the graph shown below, what level of wealth with certainty (i.e., wealth that Stewart is certain to have) would make Stewart equally as happy as he is when facing the 50% chance of being sick?Abigail is a consumer whose utility is a function of her total wealth W. u(W ) = log W. Suppose that Abigail begins with initial wealth of A = 100 but will suffer a serious illness with probability π = 0.15 which will require extensive treatment costing L = 80. To hedge against this risk, Abigail considers buying a health insurance policy. She may buy as much insurance I as she wishes at a cost of p per dollar of coverage, so her payoffs in each state are Healthy Ill Probability 0.85 0.15 No Insurance 100 20 Claim 0 I Premium −pI −pI a) Show that Abigail is risk averse. b) Suppose that the insurance premiums are actuarially fair so that p = 0. Find Abigail’s expected wealth E[W ] and expected utility E[u(W )] as functions of how much insurance she buys I. c) How much insurance should Abigail buy?Abigail is a consumer whose utility is a function of her total wealth W. u(W ) = log W.

- Jamal has a utility function U = W1/2, where W is his wealth in millions of dollars and U is the utility he obtains from that wealth. In the final stage of a game show, the host offers Jamal a choice between (A) $4 million for sure, or (B) a gamble that pays $1 million with probability 0.6 and $9 million with probability 0.4. (1) Does A or B offer Jamal a higher expected utility? Explain your reasoning with calculations. (2) Should Jamal pick A or B? Why? I would like help with the unanswered last parts of the questions.You are in the market for a used car. At a used carlot, you know that the Blue Book value of the car youare looking at is between $15,000 and $19,000. Ifyou believe the dealer knows as much about the caras you do, how much are you willing to pay? Why?Assume that you care only about the expected valueof the car you will buy and that the car values aresymmetrically distributed.23. Refer to Problem 22. Now you believe the dealerknows more about the car than you do. How muchare you willing to pay? Why?

- Q. 4 Suppose you, owner and CEO of a corporation, are considering a $25 million project that constructs a building in the downtown area of Toronto. The current market price of the similar building is about $20 million. The future price is uncertain. It may be either $28 million or $22 million in one year from now, depending on the economic situation. The company can borrow at a risk-free rate of 5 percent per year. What is the value of this project? Use a binomial model to value this real option.Consider the constant relative risk aversion utility of wealth function from Chapter 3 for an investor with gamma parameter equal to 0.25: U(W) = W^(0.25)/(0.25) = 4W^(0.25). Suppose this investor is faced with a 50-50 bet to receive nothing or to receive 1000 dollars. What's a fair price for this bet to the investor? I.e., what is the certainty equivalent wealth (CEW) associated with this bet, for this investorSuppose Real Option Inc. has a product that generates the following cash flow. At t=1, the demand can be high or low. There is a probability of 0.6 that demand is high. If demand is high (low) the cash flow is CFH=400 (CFL=200). At t=2, the demand can also be high or low. If demand was high at t=1, then a high demand at t=2 arises with probability 0.7. If demand was low at t=1, then a high demand at t=2 arises with probability 0.2. If demand is high (low) at t=2 then CFH=400 (CFL=200). The interest rate for this project is 20%. (a) Draw the event and decision tree. (b) What is the market price (expected value) of Real Option Inc. at t=0? Now suppose Real Option Inc. can rent a platform to run a marketing campaign. For this purpose Real Option Inc. must sign a two year contract with the platform provider. The costs for using the platform are 180 per period. Marketing itself does not cost anything and has the following effect. In the high demand state, marketing doubles the demand. In…
