Explanation Given: Base side of pyramid, a = 756 ft Height of pyramid, h = 481 ft Average size of limestone = 1.5 ft 3 Formula used: Volume of pyramid = 1 3 a 2 h Calculation: Part a: Comparison of pyramid height with length of football ground Height of pyramid = 481 ft Length of football ground = 100 yards = 300 ft Height of the pyramid Length of the football field = 481 ft 300 ft = 1.60 The height of the pyramid is 1.6 times the length of the football field. Part b: Volume of pyramid V o l u m e o f p y r a m i d = 1 3 a 2 h = 1 3 ( 756 ft ) 2 × ( 481 ft ) = 91636272 f t 3 91636272 f t 3 3 3 = 3393936 y a r d 3 Part c: No of limestone blocksin pyramid Volume of 1 limestone = 1.5 yard 3 No of limestone required = Volume of pyramid Volume of 1 limestone = 3393936 1.5 = 2262624 Part d: Time required building pyramid and comparing the studies done on that. No of limestone required = 2262624 Time required for placing all the limestone = 2.5 × 2262624 = 5656560 minutes = 94276 hours Since only 12 hours are working per day, no of days = 94276 12 = 7856...

Starting with the finished version of Example 6.2, attached, change the decision criterion to "maximize expected utility," using an exponential utility function with risk tolerance $5,000,000. Display certainty equivalents on the tree. a. Keep doubling the risk tolerance until the company's best strategy is the same as with the EMV criterion—continue with development and then market if successful. The risk tolerance must reach $ ____________ before the risk averse company acts the same as the EMV-maximizing company. b. With a risk tolerance of $320,000,000, the company views the optimal strategy as equivalent to receiving a sure $____________ , even though the EMV from the original strategy (with no risk tolerance) is $ ___________ .
