Use an economic decision tree to find the probability distribution and the expected PW for an assembly line modification. The first cost is $80K, and its salvage value is $0. The firm's interest rate is 9%. The savings shown below depend on whether the assembly line runs one, two, or three shifts and on whether the product is mace for 3 or 5 years.

An individual has 40,000 in income per year. The person will get sick with probability 0.1. If he does get sick, the medical bills will total 30,000. The following tables shows the utility derived from certain amounts of income: Income Utility 40,000 200 |37,000 195 35,000 190 30,000 170 |20,000 140 10.000 100 A. Is this person risk neutral, risk loving or risk averse? Why? B. Considering the probability of illness, what is the expected income without insurance? Show your work.

You take a position with a large real estate development company as your first job after graduation. Your first big assignment is to sell an office building – you have been informed the company’s cost into the building (and the bottom line price it is willing to accept) is $400,000. You have identified a likely buyer and you assess that his top price is either $500,000 with a probability of .3, $600,000 with a probability of .5, or $1,000,000 with a probability of .2. You have to commit to a posted price – what price will maximize your profitability?
Adam is considering what skills to study in online school. Her utility function is based on the income she earns, and is defined by U(I) = I0.8. If she learns the skill of SPSS, she will earn $145,000 per year with probability 1. If she learns the skill of Tableau, she will earn $300,000 per year with probability 0.6 (assuming that she gets the certificate) and $30,000 with probability 0.4 (if she learns without earning a certificate and she has to find a waiter job). a. Is she risk averse, risk neutral, or risk loving? Explain.b. Write out the equation for her expected utility for each skill. c.Which skill will she learn? Show your work. d.Suppose someone offers her insurance for the possibility that she does not get a Tableau certificate. This insurance will provide her an amount of income in addition to the waiter job wages that makes her indifferent between learning SPSS and Tableau. What is this amount, and what is the cost of the insurance? (note: many possible answers)
Portsmouth Bank has foreclosed on a home mortgage and is selling the house at auction. There are three bidders for the house, Emily, Anna, and Olga. Portsmouth Bank does not know the willingness to pay of these three bidders for the house, but on the basis of its previous experience, the bank believes that each of these bidders has a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $600,000, a probability of 1/3 of valuing at $500,000, and a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $200,000. Portsmouth Bank believes that these probabilities are independent among buyers. If Portsmouth Bank sells the house by means of a second- bidder, sealed- bid auction (Vicktey auction), what will be the bank's expected revenue from the sale?

Consider two prospects. Problem 1: Choose between Prospect A: $2,500 with probability 0.33 $2,400 with probability 0.66 Zero with probability 0.01 Prospect B: $2,400 with probability 1.00 Problem 2: Choose between Prospect C: $2,500 with probability 0.33 Zero with probability 0.67 Prospect D: $2,400 with probability 0.34 Zero with probability 0.66 It has been shown by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky (1979, “Prospect theory: An analysis of decision under risk,” Econometrica 47(2), 263-291) that more people choose B when presented with problem 1 and when presented with problem 2, most people choose C. These choices violate expected utility theory. Why?
