4. Kate has von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function U(x1,x2) = m7. She currently has $2025. a. Would she be willing to undertake a gamble that involves a gain $2875 with probability + and a loss of $1125 with probability ? Show your work and explain your answer. b. Would she be willing to undertake a gamble that involves a gain $2599 with probability and a loss of $800 with probability ? Show your work and explain your answer.
Suppose that 20 risk neutral competitors participate in a rent seeking game with a fixed prize of $500. Each player may invest as much money as he wishes in the political contest. The probability of winning is directly proportional to the candidate's share of the total rent-seeking investment. 1. What is the expected net benefit of a player if all other players invest $20 each? Write the net benefit as a function of the player's investment. 2. Solve the maximization problem to arrive at the profit-maximizing investment. Round to the nearest cent.
A. From the graph below explain how an insurance plan which provides the buyer a $15,000 wealth level, regardless of any uncertain event, is a good deal for the buyer? In other words, what does the distance between points D’ and C’ represent? Note we are referring to D prime, not D. B. Considering the graph below, can you explain the difference between expected utility and certainty utility?
Are the following preferences consistent with von Neumann Morgenstern’s axioms to maximize expected utility? Explain. a. You would rather have a sure $200 to a gamble with p=0.7 chance of $200, p=0.1 chance of $50, p=0.2 chance of $300. b. You prefer the gamble of p=2/3 chance of $300 and p=1/3 chance of $50 than a sure $250 win.
Who is most risk-averse? a-an individual with slightly diminishing marginal utility. b-all individuals are equally risk-averse. c-an individual with rapidly diminishing marginal utility. d-an individual who does not experience diminishing marginal utility.
5. Understanding risk aversion Suppose your friend Juanita offers you the following bet: She will flip a coin and pay you $1,000 if it lands heads up and collect $1,000 from you if it lands tails up. Currently, your level of wealth is $3,000. The graph shows your utility function from wealth. Use the graph to answer the following questions. UTILITY (Units of utility) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 A+ C B WEALTH (Thousands of dollars)
Which of the following statements is correct? a. As wealth increases, decreasing marginal utility makes potential losses less serious for high-wealth individuals—this leads to a decrease in willingness to pay to avoid a given fair bet as wealth increases. b. As wealth increases, decreasing marginal utility makes potential gains less attractive for high-wealth individuals—this leads to an increase in willingness to pay to avoid a given fair bet as wealth increases. c. As wealth increases, whether net willingness to pay decreases or increases, to avoid a given fair bet, depends on the precise shape of the utility function. d. All of the above.
Which of the following shapes is the most likely plot of the utility-of-wealth function for a risk-averse person? Utility OA B D B D A Wealth C
