A company that manufactures and sells T-shirts for sporting events, is providing shirts for an upcoming tournament. Each shirt will cost $7 to produce and will be sold for $13. Any unsold shirts at the end of the tournament can be sold for $5 apiece in the near future. The company assumes the demand for the shirts will be 1,500,3,000,4,500, or 6,000. The company also estimates that the probabilities of each of these sales levels occurring will be 20%, 25%,25%, and 30%, respectively. Determine the expected monetary value of the project if the company chooses to print 4,500 shirts for the tournament.
The expected monetary value is----

Your employer, an insurance company, would like to offer theft insurance for renters. The policy would pay the full replacement value of any items that were stolen from the apartment. Some apartments have security alarms installed. Such systems detect a break-in and ring an alarm within the apartment. The insurance company estimates that the probability of a theft in a year is .05 if there is no security system and .01 if there is a security system (there cannot be more than one theft in any year). An apartment with a security system costs the renter an additional $50 per year. Assume that:
the dollar loss from a theft is $10,000,
the insurance company is risk neutral, and
the renter would be willing to pay more than the expected loss to insure against the loss of theft.
What is the insurance company's break-even price for a one-year theft insurance policy for an apartment without a security system?
Does a renter have an incentive to pay for a security system if he…
