Question

Suppose an agent has $100. He opens a demand deposit of $100 with a bank which has asset x where x is a random variable.

a)         Suppose x is uniformly distributed on the interval [100, 200]. The density of x is f(x)=1/100 on [100,200] and f(x)=0 otherwise. What is the expected loss of the depositor? 

b)         Suppose changes in the economy changes the distribution of x. Now x is uniformly distributed on the interval [40, 200]. The density of x is f(x)=1/160 on [40, 200] and f(x)=0 otherwise. What is the expected loss of the depositor? 

c)         Suppose x is uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 200]. The density of x is f(x)=1/200 on [0, 200] and f(x)=0 otherwise. Calculate the expected loss of the depositor. 

d)        Suppose x is uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 200]. Given the macroeconomic environment, the government introduces deposit insurance. There is deposit insurance of an amount I=80. Calculate the expected loss of the depositor.

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

a.

X is uniformly distributed on the interval [100, 200].

fx=1100 100<X<200

He opens a demand deposit of $100 with a bank.

The expected loss of the depositor is,

EX-100=EX-100                   =100+2002-100, for uniform distribution, E(X)=a+b2                  =150-100                 =$50
