3. Consider an individual with initial wealth W = $1,000 and utility function over money given by u(w) = w. The individual faces loss of L = $800 with probabil- ity . Suppose an insurance is available at price Sp per unit, where one unit of insurance pays the insured $1 if loss occurs and $0 otherwise. (a) What is the fair price for this insurance, and how much insurance will the individual buy at this price? (b) Suppose p= $0.3. How much insurance will the individual buy? (c) Suppose p = $0.3, but now the individual's utility function over money is u(w) = w?. How much insurance will the individual buy? As clarified in the class, assume that the individual cannot insure more than the amount of loss.
