Suppose that a life insurance company insures 1 million 50-year-old people in a given year. (Assume a death rate of 5 per 1000 people.) The cost of the premium is $200 per year, and the death benefit is $50,000 What is the expected profit or loss for the insurance company?
Two investments, X and Y, have the characteristics shown below. E(X) = $60, E(Y) = $90, o = 10,000, o? = 17,000 and axy = 6,500 If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.8, calculate the a. portfolio expected return and b. portfolio risk. a. If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.8, the portfolio expected return is $ (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. If the weight of portfolio assets assigned to investment X is 0.8, the portfolio risk is approximately $. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
For the following payoff table, the probability of event 1 is 0.8, the probability of event 2 is 0.1, and the probability of event 3 is 0.1   ACTION ACTION EVENT A ($) B ($) 1 50 10 2 300 100 3 500 200 a. Determine the optimal action based on the maximax criterion b. Compute the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) for action A c. Explain the meaning of the Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI) in this problem
