A $150 eReader comes with a warranty from an electronics business that covers theft (T) and accidental damage (AD) . Due to the high expense of repairing an eReader, it is more cost-effective for the business to provide the customer a complete refund to go toward another one. There is a 5.1% possibility that an AD (Accidenal Claim) claim will be made in any given year. Assume there can only be one claim made (not one of each type).Customers who report an eReader as stolen will get a reimbursement for 80% of the item's full price. A Theft (T) claim is likely to be submitted 3.5% of the time in any given year.What is the anticipated financial benefit or loss for the firm on each contract if the warrantee costs $15.95 for a year?(NOTE: Keep in mind that regardless of whether a claim is made, the consumer will pay for the warranty upfront.)

A real estate investor has the opportunity to purchase land currently zoned as residential. If the county board approves a request to rezone the property as commercial within the next year, the investor will be able to lease the land to a large discount firm that wants to open a new store on the property. However, if the zoning change is not approved, the investor will have to sell the property at a loss. Profits (in thousands of dollars) are shown in the following payoff table: State of Nature Rezoning Approved Rezoning Not Approved Decision Alternative s1 s2 Purchase, d1 610 -190 Do not purchase, d2 0 0 (a) If the probability that the rezoning will be approved is 0.5, what decision is recommended? Recommended Decision: What is the expected profit? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $200 thousands should be entered as 200,000. $ (b) The investor can purchase an option to buy the land. Under the option, the…

2. The following situation arises in various situations such as when you are a homeowner. Suppose you face a random loss L in the coming year. You can purchase insurance against the loss L; the premium is double what the insurance company expects to pay out. (This price is in the ballpark of what reputable insurance companies charge. When you're offered an extended warranty or similar product, e.g., when purchasing an electronic device, the premium can be worse; e.g., 15 or 20 times your expected loss.) Let's assume that your loss L will be $1000 with probability 1/10, $100,000 with probability one in ten thousand, and $1,000,000 with probability one in a million; otherwise, your loss is 0. (a) If you purchase full coverage against the loss L, what is your premium? (b) Usually, the expensive part of insurance is insuring against small losses, and I've selected the p.m.f. of L to reflect this behavior. Assume that a loss of $5,000 would be painful to you and much more than $5,000 would…

A paper included analysis of data from a national sample of 1,000 Americans. One question on the survey is given below. "You owe $3,000 on your credit card. You pay a minimum payment of $30 each month. At an Annual Percentage Rate of 12% (or 1% per month), how many years would it take to eliminate your credit card debt if you made no additional charges?" Answer options for this question were: (a) less than 5 years; (b) between 5 and 10 years; (c) between 10 and 15 years; (d) never—you will continue to be in debt; (e) don't know; and (f) prefer not to answer. The paper also reported that 37.1% of those in the sample chose one of the wrong answers (a, b, or c) as their response to this question. Is it reasonable to conclude that more than one-third of adult Americans would select a wrong answer to this question? Use ? = 0.05. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. H0: p =…
According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 1900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 30 days, and 553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope. Step 1 of 2 : What percentage of Americans "certainly" would not be able to produce $2000 in the event of an emergency according to the study? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.
