Utility function equation -
U (NPV) = 1- e^ (-NPV/R)
Where, R = 100
For alternative A, NPV = $75/ (1+10%) - $50 = $68.18 - $50 = $18.18
Therefore utility for A
U (NPV) = 1- e^ (-18.18/100)
= 1- 1.1994
= 0.1994
For alternative A, NPV = $75/ (1+10%) - $50 = $68.18 - $50 = $18.18
Therefore utility for A
U (NPV) = 1- e^ (-18.18/100)
= 1- 0.8338
= 0.1662
For alternative B, NPV = $145/ (1+10%) - $85 = $131.82 - $85 = $46.82
Therefore utility for B
U (NPV) = 1- e^ (-46.82/100)
= 1- 0.6261
= 0.3739
For alternative C, NPV = $165/ (1+10%) - $100 = $150 - $100 = $50
Therefore utility for C
U (NPV) = 1- e^ (-50/100)
= 1- 0.6065
= 0.3935
Base on utility function alternative C is ranked one with respect to alternative A & B

Question 12 Suppose that a decision maker’s risk attitude toward monetary gains or losses x given by the utility function U(x) = (x+10,000)^0.5 If there is a 2.5% chance that the decision maker's car, valued at $5000, will be totaled during the next year, what is the most that she would be willing to pay each year for an insurance policy that completely covers the potential loss of her vehicle? Please round all answers (also intermediate results to 2 decimals)....
1. Consumer’s utility function is: U (X,Y) = 10X + Y. Consumer’s income M is 40 euros, the price per unit of good X (i.e. Px ) is 5 euros and the price per unit of good Y (i.e. Py) is 1 euro. a) What is the marginal utility of good X (MUx) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUx = 10) b) What is the marginal utility of good Y (MUy) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUy = 1) c)...
This is the sequence 1,3,6,10,15 the pattern is addin 1 more than last time but what is the name for this patternThese are called the triangular numbers The sequence is 1 3=1+2 6=1+2+3 10=1+2+3+4 15=1+2+3+4+5 You can also observe this pattern x _________ x xx __________ x xx xxx __________ x xx xxx xxxx to see why they're called triangular numbers. I think the Pythagoreans (around 700 B.C.E.) were the ones who gave them this name. I do know the...
will work with up to 3 partners (similar to a lab group) to prepare a written report which analyzes kinetic data that has been provided to you. All student groups will receive data for the hypothetical reaction aAlE) products where a is a numeric variable and A is a chemical variable. The reaction therefore has the form of a decomposition reaction, in which a single substance forms one or more new substances. For consistency, all concentrations start out at 1.000...
