The agent has the possibility to undertake work elsewhere and his utility level will then be U-1. If the principal can observe the agent's effort, what remuneration should he offer the agent so as to make sure that the latter will not leave to work elsewhere? a) w 3 b)...

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...

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...

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...

2) (20 points) Lynn has a utility function U(W) = W1/2, where W is the amount of wealth that she has. Lynn has two assets. She has $40,000 in a bank account, and she has a house worth $600,000, so her total wealth is initially $640,000. There is a 2% chance that her house is destroyed by a fire. a) (4 points) Considering the probability that there is a fire, what is Lynn’s Expected Wealth, E(W)? E(W) = ____________________________ b)...

Consider an individual with the following utility function u(W) = W^(1/4) and u(W) = W^(1/2) Which of the utility functions makes the individual more risk Averse (in relative sense)? Which of the utility functions makes the individual more Prudent? Why or Why not?

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...

Question 1 (20 marks) (a) A consumer maximizes utility and has Bernoulli utility function u(w)/2. The consumer has initial wealth w 1000 and faces two potential losses. With probability 0.1, the consumer loses S100, and with probability 0.2, the consumer loses $50. Assume that both losses cannot occur at the same time. What is the most this consumer would be willing to pay for full insurance against these losses? (10 marks) (b) A consumer has utility function u(z, y) In(x)...
