- A decision maker has a utility function for monetary gains x given by U(x) = (x + 10,000)1/2. (a) Show that the person is indifferent between the status quo and L: With probability 1/3, he or she gains $80,000 With probability 2/3, he or she loses $10,000 (b) Suppose that this person has a painting. If there is a 10% chance that the painting valued at $10,000 will be stolen during the next year, what is the maximum amount (per year) that he/she would be willing to pay for insurance covering the loss of the painting? • What is certainty equivalent? • What is risk premium? (c) Is this person risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-taker? Why?arrow_forward2. An investment firm offers its customers municipal bonds that mature after varying numbers of years.

An insurance company sells an automobile policy with a deductible of one unit. Suppose that X has the pmf 0.9 x = 0 f (x) = { x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Determine c and the expected value of the amount the insurance company must pay. Transla- tion: The expected value of the amount the insurance company must pay is E [max (X – 1,0)].arrow_forward5.

The system will continue to function as long as the first component functions and either component 2 or component 3 functions. Let X,, X,, and X, denote the lifetimes of components 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Suppose the X's are independent of one another and each X, has an exponential distribution with parameter 2. 3 (a) Let Y denote the system lifetime. Obtain the cumulative distribution function of Y and differentiate to obtain the pdf. [Hint: F(y) = P(Y s y); express the event {Y s y} in terms of unions and/or intersections of the three events {X, s y}, {X2 s y}, {X3 s y}.] cdf for y >0 pdf for y > 0 (b) Compute the expected system lifetime.arrow_forwardCaptain Holt is 50 years old and he purchases a ten-year endowment insurance with ten annual premiums of $150,000 (not using the equivalence principle). The death benefit of $2,000,000 is paid at the end of year of death. Find the expected loss at issue if his mortality follows De Moivre with w = 100 and v = 0.9.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
