- You have a house worth 300,000. A fire will burn everything to the ground and leave $0 in value. Assume full coverage in the case of a fıre. In every given year, there is a 5% probability that your home burns. If your Utility function is U=Wealth1/2 what is your expected utility without insurance? O 512 O 520.33 O 212 O $250,000Michael lives on an island and owns a beach house worth $400,000. Of that, $100,000 is the cost of land and $300,000 is the cost of the structure. The probability that a hurricane destroys his house is 3percent (he will still own the land). Michael can purchase hurricane insurance at the price of $2for each $100 of coverage. 1. What is Michael’s contingent consumption bundle if Michael does not purchase insuranceYou live in an area that has a possibility of incurring a massive earthquake, so you are considering buyingearthquake insurance on your home at an annual cost of $180. The probability of an earthquake damagingyour home during one year is 0.001. If this happens, you estimate that the cost of the damage (fully coveredby earthquake insurance) will be $160,000. Your total assets (including your home) are worth $250,000.
- 4) Luke is planning an around-the-world trip on which he plans to spend $10,000. The utility from the trip is a function of how much she spends on it (Y ), given by U(Y) = InY a). If there is a 25 percent probability that Luke will lose $1000 of his cash on the trip, what is the trip's expected utility. b). Suppose that Luke can buy insurance to fully against losing the $1,000 with a actuarially fair insurance. What is his expected utility if he purchase this insurance. Will he purchase the insurance? c). Now suppose utility function is U(Y) = Y/1000 What is his expected utility if he purchase the insurance in b). Will he purchase the insurance?2. Consider an individual with a current wealth of $100,000 who faces the prospect of a 25% chance of losing $20,000 through theft of her car during the next year. If the person’s utility function is U(X) = ln(X), where X is wealth: a. calculate expected utility without insurance, b. calculate the actuarially fair premium for full insurance, c. calculate expected utility with full insurance at the actuarially fair premium d. calculate the maximum amount the individual would pay for full insurance.4) You are a financial professional working in a corporate loan department. A company named Mitch Hedberg Inc. (MH) comes to you for a loan. MH has debt from a previous loan (given by a different firm than yours) of 200. Your company analysts say that MH is likely to earn either 180, 240, or 300 this year - each with a probability of 1/3. MH wants you to lend them 100. MH could use this borrowed 100 to do either project X or project Y. Project X has a guaranteed return of 125 if the 100 is put there. Project Y may return either 0 or 210; each has probability of 1/2 and also costs 100 to do. a) Which project, X or Y, has the larger expected value? b) If you lend MH the 100, what will they do with the money? Why? Show your math. c) Should you lend MH the money or not? Show your math. d) Why did I choose the letters "MH" for this problem? What financial economic concept with initials "MH" is important in this problem?
- 3. Sarah's current disposable income is £90,000. Suppose there's a 1% chance that Sarah's house may be flooded, and if it is, the cost of repairing it will be £80,000, reducing her disposable income to £10,000. Suppose also that her utility function of income M is: U = VM (a)Calculate Sarah's expected income and expected utility given the risk of flooding. (b)For her to take an insurance that fully insures her in the event of house flooding, Sarah would have to pay a price for such an insurance, which would reduce her disposable income. What would be the minimum certain disposable income required for Sarah to take an insurance that fully insures her in the event of house flooding? Explain your answer.Utility Theory You live in an area that has a possibility of incurring a massive earthquake, so you are considering buyingearthquake insurance on your home at an annual cost of $180. The probability of an earthquake damagingyour home during one year is 0.001. If this happens, you estimate that the cost of the damage (fully coveredby earthquake insurance) will be $160,000. Your total assets (including your home) are worth $250,000. A. Apply Bayes’ decision rule to determine which alternative (take the insurance or not) maximizes yourexpected assets after one year.# 4 Consider an individual with a utility function of the form u(w) = √w. The individual has an initial wealth of $4. He has two investments options available to him. He can eitffer keep his wealth in an interest-free account or he can take part in a particularly generous lottery that provides $12 with probability of 1/2 and $0 with probability 1/2. Assume that this person does not have to incur a cost if he decides to take part in the lottery. (a) Will this individual participate in the lottery? (b) Calculate this individual's certainty equivalent associated with the lottery. What is his risk premium?
