Question

Farmers face uncertainty over their earnings because rain is random. Let a farmer's yield be Y= 0 in the dry outcome and

Y = 1 in the wet outcome. However, not all farmers are the same:

Probability(Y= 1) = p1= 2/ 3 if type = 1

p0= 1/ 3 if type = 0

All farmers are risk averse, with utility U(Y) = √Y as their utility function. Farmers know their type.

(a) Calculate each farmer's expected yield, E(Yi) =pI1 + (1- pi)0, expected utility ,E(Ui) =piU(1) + (1 - pi)U(0), and calculate the utility at E(Yi), U(E(Yi)), for i= 0, 1. Show these all on a graph with utility on the vertical axis and yield on the horizontal axis.

Expression, rule, or law that gives the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable. Some important types of functions are injective function, surjective function, polynomial function, and inverse function.
