- Utility Theory You live in an area that has a possibility of incurring a massive earthquake, so you are considering buyingearthquake insurance on your home at an annual cost of $180. The probability of an earthquake damagingyour home during one year is 0.001. If this happens, you estimate that the cost of the damage (fully coveredby earthquake insurance) will be $160,000. Your total assets (including your home) are worth $250,000. A. Apply Bayes’ decision rule to determine which alternative (take the insurance or not) maximizes yourexpected assets after one year.Who is most risk-averse? a-an individual with slightly diminishing marginal utility. b-all individuals are equally risk-averse. c-an individual with rapidly diminishing marginal utility. d-an individual who does not experience diminishing marginal utility.1) to avoid an accident at work or not exert any effort (e John is deciding whether to exert effort (e = 0).

John utility of income is VI. The cost of effort, C(e), is 0 if effort is e = 0 and 1 if effort is e = 1. John's utility function is u(I, e) = Vī – C(e). (a) What are the expected utility values that John would face when he exerts effort and when he does not exert effort? Based on your calculations, should he exert effort? Briefly explain the intuition behind his decision in one or two sentences. Now suppose there is a risk neutral insurance company. Suppose the insurance company cannot monitor whether John exerts effort or not. The insurance company considers two plan contracts. Contract Plan A: Premium: p = $36.
