When W represents the size of the cash, assume the utility function of Alice is given as U(W)=√W. In other words, the size of utility that Alice gets for 40,000$ is U(4)=√4=2. If a financial product sells at the same price of 70,000$, but results in a different profit after one year, let's say one of the followings should be chosen: A - 80,000$(100% Probability) B - 160,000$(50% Probability), 40,000$(50% Probability) (1)According to the expected utility hypothesis, which financial product...

Gamma’s utility function over wealth levels w is given by u(w) = √ w. His initial wealth is $400. With probability π, Gamma will get into an accident that will result in a loss of $300. With probability (1 − π), Gamma does not have an accident, and hence suffers no loss. 1. Argue (mathematically) that Gamma is risk averse. 2. What is the expected value of Gamma’s loss? 3. ABC Inc. sells auto insurance. It charges a premium of...

W 2 Assume you have the following von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function: U(w) = 200 – (12 – 1000) where w denotes wealth measured in pounds. Your friend believes that it will rain in Reading tomorrow while you think that there is a 75% probability that it will not rain. You are going to take a bet. Your friend will pay you x pounds if it does not rain and you pay your friend x pounds if it rains. Your current...

Suppose you are selling car insurance. You have a customer with the utility function U(w)=600-200 Where w is the customer's wealth. With probability 0.1, this customer is going to get into an accident while driving. If there is an accident, the customer would have to pay for all the damages and would end up with wealth of $1. The customer has a 0.9 probability of not getting into an accident, and if this were to happen, the individual would get...

Your rich aunt is going to give you an end-of-year gift of $1,000 for each of the next 10 years. Suppose that your aunt specified that the annual gifts of $1,000 are to be increased by 6% each year to keep pace with inflation. With a real interest rate of 4% per year, what is the current PW of the gifts (real-dollars)? What would be FW of the gift in actual and real dollars?

3. Suppose your utility function is You have a house whose value is $1,000,000. If an earthquake comes, it will destroy your house and its value will be zero. An insurance company provides insurance for the natural disasters. However they cannot provide full insurance to the house. They provide insurance up to S 500,000. The probability of the earthquake is 0.01%. The insurance fee is $ 0.02 per $1 insured asset (ie, If your insure $500,000, it will give you...

Ann is risk-averse with a Bernoulli utility function u(w) = 100 + w^1/2 where w is her wealth in dollars. Ann’s current wealth is one million dollars, including her small boat valued at $180, 000. She estimates that with 10% probability the boat will sink and lose its full value; with 15% probability there will be damages and the boat will lose half its value, and with 25% probability the boat will lose a quarter of its value; otherwise, the...
