g Bob's farm harvests corns worth 83 thousand dollars (and nothing else). In each year, there is a 38% chance that a storm will

attack and leaves him with only 20 thousand dollars worth of the corns. Bob's preferences over wealth are represented by U=\ln{w} . What is the maximum that Bob is willing to pay for full insurance (in unit of thousand dollars)?

Answer:

Hence Bob will pay a maximum of 35 thousand dollars for the insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected Utility for Bob is given by:  

wealth w is measured in thousands of dollars

E(U) = Probability of storm * Utility if storm happens + (1- Probability of storm) * Utility if there is no storm)

E(U) = 0.38 * ln(20) + 0.62 * ln(83)

=0.38 * 2.9957 + 0.62 * 4.4188

=1.138378 + 2.73968

=3.878059

≅3.88

E(U) = 3.88

The wealth corresponding to this expected utility is given by w = exp(E(U)) = exp(3.88) = 48.33

≅48

= 48 dollars.

Hence the maximum Bob is willing to pay for the insurance can be given by = 83- 48

= 35  dollars.

<u>Since it in unit of thousand dollars</u>

<u />

Hence Bob will pay a maximum of 35 thousand dollars for the insurance.

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, give the limit.
azamat
The term to term rule is multiplying by 4 and if we continue doing this, we will move towards very large positive numbers.

This sequence, therefore, diverges to infinity

Estimate the unit rate to the nearest hundredth. $1.19=GRAPE JUICE 12 fl oz. The unit rate is about$_ per fluid ounce.
Ket [755]
To find the unit rate of a given amount, you have to divide the price by the fluid oz or amount. In this case it is 1.19 / 12. The quotient is 0.0991666667 or (rounded) $0.10.

monitta

Answer:

z =  \frac{47}{7} = 6 \frac{5}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

7 =  \frac{40}{z - 1}  \\ 7(z - 1) = 40 \\ 7z - 7 = 40 \\ 7z = 40 + 7 \\ 7z = 47 \\

\boxed{\bold{Answer:{\boxed{\green{\bold{z =  \frac{47}{7} = 6 \frac{5}{7}}}}}}}
