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...

The city government of Grantsburg must choose how to allocate the city budget of $90,000 between units of educational quality (E) and all other public goods (G). The city's prefer- ences (i.e., those of the median voter) over E and G are given by: ! U(E,G) = (1/3) - In(E) + (2/3) • In(G) For simplicity, let the unit prices of E and G both equal $1 so that we can interpret E and Gas levels of spending. The city's...

Billy Pigskin is a football player with a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function U(c) = c 1/2. If Billy is not injured this season, he will receive an income of $16 million. If he is injured, his income will be only $10,000. The probability that he will be injured is 0.1 and the probability that he will not be injured is 0.9. What is the certainty equivalent of the gamble that Billy is facing? (See the hint to problem 3.)
