Solve through IRAC (ISSUE, Rules, Analysis, Conclusion) method. Samuel Finley has two children, a daughter Lee and a son Keaton. Samuel has a lovely beach house in Palm Beach. Sam is terminally ill and has been told by his doctors that he has less than a year to live. Lee knows that Keaton is their father’s favourite child and that he had been named in the latter’s will to inherit the beach house. Lee knew that since their father did not have long to live and that he was 90 years old and starting to become mentally-weak, she could pressure him to transfer the Palm Beach beach house over to her even though Samuel may not totally understand what he was signing over. So, for four months, using pressure and threats, but more often with gentle but devious tactics, Lee succeeds in convincing Samuel to sign a transfer of property transferring the Palm Beach beach house over to her. As his last act, before he dies, Samuel wants to set aside the transfer of the beach house to Lee. Advise…

Carey and Pat were good friends and neighbors in an upscale neighborhood near several highly rated golf courses in Arizona. During the winter, both Carey and Pat decided to rent their homes (at a premium) to groups of golfers from the New York area who wanted to get out of the snow and enjoy sunshine and golf for a couple of weeks during the winter. While their homes were rented, Carey and Pat vacationed together in Cancun. In January 2020, Carey rented his home for 14 days and received $14,000 in rent. Pat also rented his home for the same 14 days and received $16,000 in rent. Near the end of the 14-day rental period, Pat got a call from the renters, who wanted to extend their stay for one day. Pat agreed to the extension and charged the group $2,000 for the extra day. When preparing his 2020 tax return, Pat discovered that taxpayers who rent their home for more than 14 days are required to report all of their rental income on their tax returns. Pat didn’t think it was fair that he…

Janey, a college student, is on her own financially. She is much too busy with school to hold down any kind of traditional job. However, she does list herself on a number of dating websites and every weekend makes time to see one or more gentlemen. Janey googles all of her potential matches before agreeing to go out in order to confirm a high net worth or income. “I expect a gentleman to be generous,” she says to every potential date. She refuses to go out with anyone who hesitates at that. Janey never does anything illegal but at the same time isn’t shy about showing her appreciation for all she receives.

David has a total wealth of $50,000, which corresponds to 500 utils of happiness (i.e., David's utility from $50,000 of wealth is equal to 500). If David gets sick he will incur $30,000 in medical bills, leaving him with $20,000 of wealth and utility from wealth of 300 (i.e., David's utility from $20,000 of wealth is 300). Suppose that David has a 40% chance of getting sick. What is David's expected utility from wealth? (Note that expected utility from wealth is equivalent to expected utility over wealth.)
