- Suppose that Mike, with utility function, u(x) = v x+5000, is offered a gamble where a coin is flipped twice, and if the coin comes up heads both times (probability - .25), he gets $40,000. Would he prefer this gamble or $7,500 for sure? What is his Certainty Equivalent?Max Pentridge is thinking of starting a pinball palace near a large Melbourne university. His utility is given by u(W) = 1 - (5,000/W), where W is his wealth. Max's total wealth is $15,000. With probability p = 0.9 the palace will succeed and Max's wealth will grow from $15,000 to $x. With probability 1 - p the palace will be a failure and he’ll lose $10,000, so that his wealth will be just $5,000. What is the smallest value of x that would be sufficient to make Max want to invest in the pinball palace rather than have a wealth of $15,000 with certainty? (Please round your final answer to the whole dollar, if necessary)Amy likes to go fast in her new Mustang GT. Their utility function over wealth is v(w) where w is wealth. If Amy goes fast she gets an increase in utility equal to F. But when Amy drives fast, she is more likely to crash: when she drives fast the probability of a crash is 10%, but when she obeys the speed limit, the probability of a crash is only 5%. Amy's car is worth $2000 unless she crashes, in which case it is worth $0. If Amy doesn't have insurance, driving fast isn't worth the risk, so she will alway obey the speed limit. If Amy is offered an insurance contract with full insurance for a premium P with the deductible D, which of the inequalites below is her incentive compatibility constraint that makes sure that she will still obey the speed limit even when she is fully insured? 0.05U(2000 – P – D) + 0.95U(2000 – P) > 0.05U(0 – P – D + 2000) + 0.95U(2000 – P) 0.05U(2000 – P – D) + 0.95U(2000 – P) > 0.1(U(2000 – P – D) + F) + 0.90(U(2000 – P) + F) 0.05U(2000 – P – D) + 0.95U(2000)…
- An individual has a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function of the form u(w) = Vw. What would the individual be willing to pay for a lottery that pays $1,000,000 with a probability of 0.0015 and zero otherwise?Jacob is considering buying hurricane insurance. Currently, without insurance, he has a wealth of $80,000. A hurricane ripping through his home will reduce his wealth by $60,000. The chance of this happening is 1%. An insurance company will offer to compensate Jacob for 80% of the damage that any tornado imposes, provided he pays a premium. Jacob’s utility function for wealth is given by U(w) = In (w). (A) What is the maximum amount Jacob is willing to pay for this insurance? Show work and explain.Gary likes to gamble. Donna offers to bet him $31 on the outcome of a boat race. If Gary's boat wins, Donna would give him $31. If Gary's boat does not win, Gary would give her $31. Gary's utility function is p1x^21+p2x^22, where P₁ and p2 are the probabilities of events 1 and 2 and where x₁ and x₂ are his wealth if events 1 and 2 occur respectively. Gary's total wealth is currently only $80 and he believes that the probability that he will win the race is 0.3. Which of the following is correct? (please submit the number corresponding to the correct answer). 1. Taking the bet would reduce his expected utility. 2. Taking the bet would leave his expected utility unchanged. 3. Taking the bet would increase his expected utility. 4. There is not enough information to determine whether taking the bet would increase or decrease his expected utility. 5. The information given in the problem is self-contradictory.

- Help me pleaseJane loves risk; her Bernoulli utility function is given by u(w) = w². She participates in a lottery which pays her $5 with probability 0.2, $14 with probability 0.1, and $35 otherwise. What is her certainty equivalent? (Round your final answer to two decimal places, if necessary.)Suppose you have an exponential utility function given by U(x) =1- exp(-x/R) where, for you, R = 1000. Further, suppose you have an investment with a 50/50 chance of returning either 0 or 2000 dollars. Note U(0) = 0 and U(2000) = 0.865, so the utility of the lottery is 0.432. What is the certain equivalent of that investment?
