A individual, with a utility function lnW and an initial wealth level W0, is faced with a fair gamble of winning or losing $h (where W0 > h > 0) with 50-50 chance. (a) Is this individual risk averse? Explain.(b) Suppose that the individual is willing to pay up to an amount of f in order to avoid such a gamble. Give the equation that determines f, and solve the equation for f (i.e., express f in terms of W0 and h). (c) Show that f increases as h increases.
