(a) What is the expected value of this gamble? Represent Alice's preference over risk in a large, suitably labelled graph.

Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000? Instructions: Fill in the table below to answer the questions above. Enter your responses as whole numbers and enter percentage values as percentages not decimals (.e., 20% not 0.20). Enter a negative sign (-) to indicate a negative number if necessary.

- People in a certain group have a 0.75% chance of dying this year. If a person in this group buys a life insurance policy for $6000 that pays $1,000,000 to her family if she dies this year and $0 otherwise, what is the expected value of the policy? (enter a minus sign if necessary and round your answer to the nearest dollar). $You are considering a $500,000 investment in the fast-food industry and have narrowed your choice to either a McDonald's or a Penn Station East Coast Subs franchise. McDonald's indicates that, based on the location where you are proposing to open a new restaurant, there is a 25 percent probability that aggregate 10-year profits (net of the initial investment) will be $16 million, a 50 percent probability that profits will be $8 million, and a 25 percent probability that profits will be -$1.6 million. The aggregate 10-year profit projections (net of the initial investment) for a Penn Station East Coast Subs franchise is $48 million with a 2.5 percent probability, $8 million with a 95 percent probability, and -$48 million with a 2.5 percent probability. Considering both the risk and expected profitability of these two investment opportunities, which is the better investment? Explain carefully.Question 5 You negotiate with a retailer over a contract according to which the retailer would buy a large fraction of your current production for next year. The retailer is perfectly informed about consumer demand, but you do not know whether demand is high or low. You only know that the probability for high demand is 80%. If demand is high, the retailer's profit is £5 million minus what he pays to you according to your contract. If demand is low, the retailer's profit is £3 million minus what he pays to you. Your costs of producing the output specified in the contract are £1 million. You can make sequential offers for the retailer's total payment for you to deliver a fixed quantity of your production. As you know that your competitor is also seeking a similar contract with this retailer, and the retailer can only supply one firm due to limited shelf space, you know that you can only make at most two offers. If your first offer is rejected, the retailer will strike the deal with your…
- Choice under uncertainty Alice would be willing to pay up to £15 for a gamble giving a 35% chance of £50 and a 65% chance of £10. 5. (a) What is the expected value of this gamble?

This problem, however, shows that the prices depend on exactly what is owned in the first place. Suppose that your utility for wealth (A) can be represented by the utility function u(A) = In [(A)] You currently have R1000 in cash. A business deal of interest to you yields a reward of R100 with probability 0,5 and RO with probability 0,5. 2.1 If you own this business deal in addition to the R1000, what is the smallest amount for which you would sell the deal? 2.2 Suppose you do not own the deal. Formulate an appropriate equation and solve with algebra to find the largest amount you would be willing to pay for the deal. 2.3 Explain why the amounts in 2.1 and 2.2 are slightly different.Risky Prospect Y is defined as: Y = ($7,0.25; $12,0.50; $25 , 0.25) What is the expected value of prospect Y?

- A drug company is considering investing $100 million today to bring a weight loss pill to the market. At the end of one year, the firm will know the payoff; there is a 0.50 probability that the pill will sell at a high price and generate $37 million per year of profit forever and a 0.50 probability that the pill will sell at a low price and generate $I million per year of profit forever. The interest rate is 10%. Suppose the firm decides to wait one year to determine whether the pill will sell at a high or low price. The firm will not invest if it learns that the pill will sell at a low price. What is the net present value of waiting one year to make the investment?O $88 millionO$122.72 millionO $201.22 millionO $64.5 millionJakob is offered the choice between $100 or gamble rolling a single die. The gamble is this: if the die comes up 6, he earns $300, if a 5 comes up he gets $200. If a 1,2,3,4 comes up he earns $0. What is expected value of the gamble? (Round the decimal to the nearest tenth)Tasha is planning to invest in a farming project in 2022, but has a reservation given the different forecast (declined (D),the average (A) and takeoff (T)of the economy. She uses the following to guide her decision making. (i) there is 25% chance she will invest if there is a forecast of declined (ii) there is a 75% chance she will invest if there is a forecast of average growth and (iii) there is a 55% chance of investing if there is a forecast that economy will takeoff. Tashanna believes that for 2022 there is a 20% chance of decline and a 40% chance of average growth and a 40% chance the economy will take off. Based on these probabilities what is the chance that Tattiana will invest in the farming project if the stated forecast hold?
