I need help solving problem 7 sections a-d. Please note that this is not graded work. I obtained this question from an old text book to help me practice problem sets. Do let me know if you have additional questions. В7. Risk aversion. Suppose that you took part in a lottery that had a chance to increase, decrease, orhave no effect on your level of income. With probability 0.5, your income remains at its originallevel, $500. With probability 0.2, your income increases to $700, and with probability 0.3, yourincome decreases to $400. Your utility function isu(I) = 10.7,where I denotes your income level.(a) Using only the utility function, show that your risk preferences are risk averse.(b) Calculate both your EU and the utility equivalent of the EV of your income.(c) Using the results from part (b), show that your risk preferences are risk averse.(d) Suppose now that you had the option to either accept this lottery, or walk away with your initial$500. Should you accept the lottery? Why or why not?

Given information Utility function U=I^0.7 Probability of original income $500=0.5 Probability of an…

A heavy equipment manufacturing company has produced its first unit using 3500 hours and $300,000 overhead cost. The next unit, i.e. the second unit took 3300 hours. Overhead cost for this unit was $200,000. Suppose the labor was $20 per hour. Being the production manager, you need to decide what would be the total production costs for additional 10 units after the completion of the second unit. Round the final amount to nearest integer. $1,597,832 C$1,003,183 (DNone of the above

Jenkins Ltd manufactures remote control cars which sells for $500 each. The fixed cost is $70000 and the variable cost per unit is $300. Jenkins sold 200 units of car. Find the total cost and total revenue for Jenkins Ltd.
Graph the average total cost by plotting for three points only, Q = 1, Q = 5, Q = 14.The graph below shows the TC, TVC, and TFC.The problem I'm having is figuring out how to do so. I know the TC will be multiples of 25.How would I go about doing this? Graph not required, just the process to get the ATC.
Could you specifically explain question (b), such as the process in detail and how you got the correct solution
Describe the various efficiencies that can be applied when we select an analysis period?

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
