2) (15 points) Suppose that Peter is an expected-utility maximizer who derives utility from his disposable income according to the function: U(I) = V1001, where I, measured in US dollars, represents his disposable income. Currently, Peter's disposable income is $90,000. There is a 1% chance that his Audi will be stolen. If this happens, his disposable income will be reduced to $10,000, since he will be spending $80,000 getting a new car. a) If Peter does not purchase auto insurance,...
