Anne has initial wealth of $1600 and Bob has initial wealth of $1225. For each of them, there is
a probability > 0.2 that their phones will be stolen. If a cell phone is stolen, they will have to
use some of their money to buy another one of the same model. Anne's smartphone costs $700
and Bob's smartphone costs $600. The risks for each agent are independent. Both agents' utility
functions are given by u(w) = √√w. You may use the following facts if necessary:
