After ten years as a general auto mechanic in a local garage, Joe decides he is tired of working for others, especially since business is typically slow and he works partially on commission. So, he decides to open his own garage. After estimating the cash flows for his new garage, he finds a large, positive NPV. Which of the following is most likely true about his analysis? Select one: O a. The discount rate he used must be too high. O b. Unless he can find a true source of value in his new venture, he probably made a mistake in estimating his cash flows. He has likely been overly optimistic about the future and has underestimated future cash flows. Oc. O d. His estimates of initial outlays must be off. 0 e. His analysis is probably correct provided there is adequate competition in the auto repair business.

Finn is in charge of decorations for an upcoming festival, and he is planning to decorate withclovers (C) and flags (F). Suppose his preferences over decorations can be represented by theutility function U(C, F) = C^(3/4)F^(1/4) For this problem, assume C and F are infinitely divisible so you don’t need to worry aboutrestricting to whole-number answers.(a) Write Finn’s budget constraint as a function of the prices PC, PF , and his budget I.(b) Write Finn’s constrained optimization problem in Lagrangian form and derive the threefirst order conditions.(c) Use two of the first order conditions to show that Finn’s marginal rate of substitution(MRS) equals the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) at the optimum. (Note: Youdo not need to solve the constrained optimization any more than this.)
. Explain the interpretation of a utility function and why such a function should be increasing. is said that the utility function of a decision maker is given by Ua(x) = 2ax – x², r € R for some a > 0.For which lotteries with random outcomes X is the above function a utility function? Explain your answer and give an example of a lottery or specify a distibution of the random variable X for which the function mentioned in relation 2 is not a utility function. 3. Consider a decision maker with initial wealth 0 and this decision maker needs to play a lottery L having a random outcome X bounded above by a > 0. This means P(X 0 be given and L a lotery with random outcome X having cumulative distribution function if r a and assume that the utility function of the decision maker having initial wealth w = 0 is given by the function uq listed in relation 2. Compute the expected utility of this lottery and the certainty equivalence of this lottery.

Apply the various principles of choice (dominance, Laplace, Minimax, Hurwicz, and Minimax Regret) to the following matrix. The numbers in the matrix are costs.
A small community has 20 people, each of whom has a wealth of $12,000. Each individual must choose whether to contribute $300 or $0 to the support of public entertainment for their community. The money value of the benefit that a person gets from this public entertainment is b times the total amount of money contributed by individuals in the community. Question 3 options: If 20b > 1, everybody is better off if all contribute to the public entertainment fund than if nobody contributes, but if 20b < 1, everybody is better off if nobody contributes than if all contribute Everybody is worse off if all contribute than if nobody contributes if b > 1, but if b < 1, everybody is better off if nobody contributes. This game has a dominant strategy equilibrium in which nobody contributes anything for public entertainment. If 20b > 1, there is a dominant strategy equilibrium in which everybody contributes. In order for there to be a dominant strategy equilibrium in which all…

Q2 Janet offers her friend Sam (who has identical preferences and initial wealth) the following proposition: They buy the ticket together, and share the cost and proceeds equally. Q3 Sam has another idea: They buy two tickets (that have independent outcomes) and share the costs and proceeds equally.
Zach's preferences are representable by the utility function u = 90.3927, where 9₁ and 92 denote his consumption of goods 1 and 2. (Answers to each of these questions are rounded, where required, to two decimal places.) Still assuming endowments of e₁ = 5 and e₂ = 9 and market prices p₁ = 20 and p2 = 30, what is the maximised value of Zach's utility? O Au= 6.74 O B. u = 5.39 O Cu = 5.65 O D.u = 7.56 O E.
