Assume its market value is £40,000 and remains the same i.e. it does not depreciate. You can take out a full insurance policy for the year that pays out the full £40,000 market value of the car if you have the accident. Assume the insurance company has many customers with exactly the same assets as you and who all face the same risk of being involved in a similar accident. What is the expected value of taking the gamble i.e. not buying the insurance policy? Assume your utility function is W0.25. What is your expected utility from taking the gamble? Calculate the certainty equivalent and risk premium of the gamble. What is the maximum amount you…

You will use the following data to analyze this case. Your home is the typical home, approximately 1,875 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. You will list the home at the median home price for your area $425,000. You have done some research and most homes in this value range are closing within 26 days of being listed. The typical commission for homes in your value range is 6%. You and your realtor have signed a sales agreement for a 6% commission. The commission is typically split between the agent for the seller and the agent for the buyer, i.e. 3% of the 6% commission will go to your agent. Research shows that realtors in your area, when selling their properties, typically leave the properties listed for 10 days longer than the average listing-to-closing time of 26 days. After 15 days on the market, you receive an offer of $405,000. The agent recommends that you accept the offer. Also, see the help provided in the discussion preparation.

A manufacturer has a contract to produce 5,000 units of a certain device. The device can be made by highly trained workmen individually and less skilled workmen with the aid of specialized equipment and proper supervision. The highly- trained workmen are paid $20/ hour and each can produce one unit every 2 hours, on the average. The specialized equipment can be placed in operation at the cost of $60,000 and it will be worthless after 5,000 units are manufactured. With this equipment four men paid $15/hr and a foreman paid $25/hr can do the work. All of the five men working together can finish one unit in 15 minutes. Determine the gain or loss if specialized equipment is used.
