The next time you need to make a choice, your brain will use what what method?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?

Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.

Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.

Explanation:

It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.

Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $50,000 or $150,000, with equal
Ann [662]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Risk free return (risk less investment) = 5%

Cashflow derived from portfolio = $50,000 or $150,000 each at a probability of 0.5

(a) If you require a risk premium of 10%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?

Risk premium = 10%

Required return on portfolio = risk premium + risk free return = (10% + 5%) = 15%

Expected value of cashflow:

(0.5 × $50,000) + (0.5 × $150,000)

$25,000 + $75,000 = $100,000

Value of portfolio = Amount paid(a) × (1 + required return)

100,000 = a( 1 + 0.15)

100,000 = 1.15a

a = (100,000 / 1.15)

a = 86956.521

a = $86,956.5

B) If amount paid for portfolio = $86,956.5

Expected rate of return :

(Expected value - amount paid) / amount paid

= ($100,000 - $86,956.5) / $100,000

= $13043.5 / $100,000

= 0.130435 = 13.04%

C.) Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?

Risk premium = 15%

Required return on portfolio = risk premium + risk free return = (15% + 5%) = 20%

Value of portfolio = Amount paid(a) × (1 + required return)

100,000 = a( 1 + 0.20)

100,000 = 1.20a

a = (100,000 / 1.20)

a = 83333.333

a = $83,333.3

D.)

At a required risk premium of 10%, portfolio will sell at $86,956.5

At a required risk premium of 15%, portfolio will sell at $83,333.3

Hence, the price at which a portfolio will sell decreases as risk premium increases.

If the United States wanted to reduce the cost of its goods in foreign markets, it could ________ its currency.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Devalue its currency

Explanation:

Exchange Rate is the conversion rate of domestic & foreign currency.

Eg $1 =   _ € .

Devaluation means deliberate fall in value of domestic currency in terms of foreign currency (increase in foreign exchange rate) , under fixed exchange rate by government.

Eg :  $1 =   5€ - change to -  $1 = 7€ . This implies dollar can purchase less amount of euro , and has depreciated.

However , this would also lead to reduce the cost of its exports in foreign (here European market) , because US $ has become cheaper in terms of their currency & hence so have been their goods.
