1. Why might some prefer a prix fixe (fixed price) dinner costing about the same as an à la carte one (where you pay individually for each item)? (Assume the food is identical.) 2. Consider a person with the following utility function over wealth: u(w) = ew, where e is the exponential function (approximately equal to 2.7183) and w = wealth in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Suppose that this person has a 40% chance of wealth of $100,000 and...

2. (5 pts each) One heroic assumption that utilitarians make is that they can actually compare (and measure) happiness and misery across different people. Luckily, parents have this uncanny ability when those people are their kids. In fact, just this past weekend, my friend Kenny and I were trying to figure out how to distribute six cookies among our four boys. Quite a predicament, indeed. Kenny and I are utilitarians, so we made the following table. From this information, answer...

1. Rhoda Ruyner owns a $200,000 home and has a 2% chance of experiencing a loss that destroys her home in any given year. Assume that only one loss per year can occur and that if a loss occurs, her home is totally destroyed. Suppose that Rhoda purchases a full insurance contract from Acme Insurance for an actuarially fair premium. This contract would pay losses due to the total destruction of Rhoda’s home. Assume that Rhoda’s contract is the only...
