(i) For a given constant a > 0, let an investor's preference be represented by the
Gaussian utility function
U(w)=1-e-aw²
For what range of wealth level w will the investor be non-satiated and risk-averse?
Explain your answer.
(ii) Give an example of a utility function that exhibits DARA and verify it.

3. Compute the profit corresponding to 12,000 units.
5. A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 20 ft3. The material for the base costs $0.30 per ft2, the material for
the sides cost $0.10 per ft2, and the material for the top costs $0.20 per ft2. Letting a denote the length of one side of the base,
find a function in the variable x giving the cost of constructing the box.
6. Given the following graph f(x).
