Alana wishes to obtain auto insurance. She wants 100/300/100 liability coverage, $250 deductible collision and full coverage comprehensive. She lives in territory 2 and has been assigned to driver class 2 with a rating factor of 1.25. Based on Table 19-6 and Table 19-7, what would be her total premium, if her three-year-old car were in model class L? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) a. $355.00 b. $365.00 c. $456.25 d. $465.38
Why might it be difficult for a buyer and seller to agree on a price when imperfect information exists?
Suppose the equilibrium price for good quality used cars is $20,000. And the equilibrium price for poor quality used cars is $10,000. Assume a potential used car buyer has imperfect information as to the condition of any given used car. Assume this potential buyer believes the probability a given used car is good quality is .60 and the probability a given used car is low quality is .40. Assume the seller has perfect information on all cars in inventory. How does the informational imbalance result in market failure? a. Only good quality cars are sold, hence the market under-provides used cars. b. Both poor and good quality cars are sold, hence the market over-provides used cars. c. Only poor quality cars are sold, hence the market under-provides used cars. d. Both poor and good quality cars are sold, hence the market efficiently provides used cars.
1) A key difficulty facing insurance companies is that people know more about their health than do insurance companies, and that those people who are seriously ill are the most likely to want to obtain health insurance. What is this phenomenon called? A) moral hazard B) economic irrationality C) asymmetric information D) adverse selection 2) An insurance company is likely to attract customers like Clancy who want to purchase insurance because he knows better that the company that he is more likely to make a claim on a policy. What is the term used to describe the situation above? A) moral hazard B) adverse selection C) asymmetric information D) economic irrationality 3) The term that is used to refer to a situation in which one party to an economic transaction has less information than the other party is A) inefficient market hypothesis. B) moral hazard. C) information disparity. D) asymmetric information. 4) Which of the following parties is…
David is an expected-utility maximizer that likes to drive fast (and reckless at times), so his probability of an accident is 2/3. David's preferences over wealth are u(w) = vw. Suppose that David's initial wealth is $100. If David has an accident, he incurs a $51 loss. How much is the risk premium David willing to pay to be as well off in case of accident or not?

Choice under uncertainty. Consider a coin-toss game in which the player gets $30 if they win, and $5 if they lose. The probability of winning is 50%. (a) Alan is (just) willing to pay $15 to play this game. What is Alan’s attitude to risk? Show your work.(b) Assume a market with many identical Alans, who are all forced to pay $15 to play this coin-toss game. An insurer offers an insurance policy to protect the Alans from the risk. What would be the fair (zero profit) premium on this policy? i need help with question B please.
Exercise 5: Insurance Consider two individuals, Dave and Eva. Both Dave and Eva have initial wealth 810,000 and face a 40% chance of losing L = 450, 000. Dave has von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function up(x) = x and Eva has von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function ug (x) = VT. 1. What do you know about Dave's and Eva's risk preferences? 2. What is the most Dave would be willing to pay for complete insurance against the loss? 3. What is the most Eva would be willing to pay for complete insurance against the loss? Suppose they are each able choose insurance with any coverage level z [0, 1] (i.e. 0 0. 6. Is Eva's optimal choice full insurance, i.e. z = 1?
The ultimatum game is a game in economic experiments. The first player (the proposer) receives a sum of money and proposes a fair proposal (F - 5;5) or unfair proposal (U - 8;2). The second player (the responder) chooses to either accept (A) or reject (R) this proposal. If the second player accepts, the money is split according to the proposal. If the second player rejects, neither player receives any money. 1 A 5:5 2 F R 0:0 U A 8:2 2 1. Find the subgame perfect Nash Equilibrium using backward induction. R 0;0
