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.

What is the domain?<br> What is the range?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs for the function. For example, the domain of f(x)=x² is all real numbers, and the domain of g(x)=1/x is all real numbers except for x=0. We can also define special functions whose domains are more limited.

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers. The mid range is the average of the largest and smallest number.

Hope this helps!
