Here are three lotteries played by three individuals that cost $100. Could you tell whether they are risk-neutral, risk-seeking(loving) or risk-averse? the percentages in () are the probabilities associated with the events. 1)Win (50%): gets $180, lose (50%): gets $40; 2)Win (50%): gets $160, lose (50%): $0; 3)Win (20%): gets $300, lose (80%): gets $50. which one of these individuals are more likely to pursue entrepreneurship? Briefly explain why.

A firm making production plans believes there is a 30% probability the price will be $10, a 50% probability the price will be $15, and a 20% probability the price will be $20. The manager must decide whether to produce 6,000 units of output (A), 8,000 units (B) or 10,000 units (C). The following table shows 9 possible outcomes depending on the output chosen and the actual price.
