Suppose that an individual faces uncertainty regarding the return to a financial asset. The individual invests $1,000 in the financial asset. With a probability equal to p return is a relatively low rate equal to R1 a high rate of return equal to R2 expression for an individual's expected income. Then, write down an expression for an individual's expected utility. 1/3, the 1.1. On the other hand, the individual receives 1.3 with probability (1 – p) = 2/3. Write down an Assuming that people obtain diminishing returns from income, draw a graph to show the amount of utility an individual would obtain at both possible rates of return. In addition, use your graph to reflect an individual's expected utility.
