Answer:

E) A is higher, and F is lower.

Explanation:

If the farmer is risk averse, he tends to always take the decision which will minimize risk.

His financial assets (A) are not affected by floods, so the higher they are, less likely he will be to pay for flood insurance.

If P is the likelihood of a flood happening, the lower the risk P, then the lower the willingness to pay for flood insurance will be.

If F is lower, then the farmer is unlikely to spend money insuring the farm.

Therefore, analyzing the answer choices, the only that fits the above description is E) A is higher, and F is lower.

The whole idea behind collaboration is to make more money by working together, therefore the collaboration should not only pay for itself but should also increase both companies' profits by boosting sales, engage in larger contracts, cut costs, etc.

If they are not going to win anything by working together, why should they do it?
