a) Define C, C, as consumption when Miguel wins or loses with no stake from Ana and C, Ci as consumption under winning and losing when he does take the stake from Ana. Calculate each consumption level for each case. b) Index i = n, 1 for the case where Miguel is not staked and staked by Ana. Suppose Miguel's expected utility function is given by U(C, Ci, p) = pCi + (1 – p)Cj.
