Josh is playing blackjack for real money. He has reference-dependent preferences over money: if his earnings are m and his reference point is r, then his utility is v(m – r, where the value function v satisfies v(x) = In(x + 1) for x > 0, and v(x) = -2 In(-x + 1) for x < 0. assume that Josh's reference point is O Euro (that is, no wins or losses) and for the given situation, answer the following questions: (i) What is the g for which Josh would be indifferent between taking a fifty- fifty win g Euro or lose 5 Euro gamhle?

Suppose the Super Bowl is this week, and Raphael is in need of a television to watch the big game. As a college student, Raphael knows that he can either buy his flat-screen television at the local electronics store, or he can shop online for a better deal but have to wait four days for the television to arrive. The following problem uses the economic concept of rate of time preference to help determine which decision is better for Raphael. Throughout the question, assume that Raphael pays for the good the day he buys it, so his wealth is affected in the initial time period no matter where he buys the good. Also, assume the shipping cost and cost to travel to the store are incorporated into their respective given prices. Finally, assume the goods are identical, and there's no cost to gaining information about prices-in other words, he knows the best price online and in the store without having to search. Suppose Raphael receives a utility of 35.11 utils once he actually receives his…

Bob enjoys drinking Californian and French wines and regards these two goods as perfect substitutes. Bob likes ordering wine from local wineries in California or France, so he pays in $US for Californian wines and in Euro for French wines. Suppose that a bottle of Californian wine costs $30 on average, and a bottle of French wine costs €25 on average. Since Bob is indifferent between Californian and French wines, he treats $US and Euro as perfect substitutes as well. Assume that Bob’s utility is increasing in the amount of money he can spend on purchasing wines. Let x denote the amount of $ US that Bob spends on Californian wines, and let y denote the amount of Euro that Bob spends on French wines every quarter. (a) Write down Bob’s utility function in terms of quantities of $US and Euro: (b) Let p denote exchange rate for Euro . Let I be the income (in $USA) that Bob spends quarterly on wines. Write down Bob’s utility maximization problem and find Marshallian demand functions for…
Given the simple production function Q = 3K + 4L, where L is the quantity of labor employed and K is the quantity of capital employed, assuming K = 2 and L = 3, what would it mean if output was less than 18? The firm is not employing labor and capital efficiently. Labor is less productive than capital. The firm is out of business. The production function was not specified correctly.
