Answer:

108,280.22

Explanation:

Certainty equivalent is solved by taking the inverse utility function from the expected utility of a random wealth variable

U(x) = x^1/4

U^-1(x) = x^4

U^-1(x) === x^4

CE(x) = x^4

Salary   Bonus   Total income   U(x)= x^(1/4)       P(x)        U(x)*P(x)

80000       0          80000               16.82                1/7             2.4

80000    10000     90000               17.32                1/7            2.47

80000    20000    100000              17.78                1/7            2.54

80000    30000    110000               18.21                 1/7            2.6

80000    40000    120000              18.61                 1/7            2.66

80000    50000    130000              18.99                1/7            2.71

80000    60000    140000              19.34                1/7             <u>2.76</u>

Sum                                                                                             <u>18.14</u>

CE(x) =  18.14^4

CE(x) = 108280.22

So therefore,  the certainty equivalent of this job offer is 108,280.22

Answer:

Answer for the question  

Some observers had argued that Uber’s greatest problem was not any of its scandals, but its CEO Travis Kalanick. Now that Kalanick no longer serves that role, how much better off is Uber really? Where do you come down? Do you think Kalanick’s reduced profile will turn the tide for Uber? Or is Kalanick’s drive and competitiveness necessary to Uber’s continued success, regardless of the title he holds? If you were on the board, what would you recommend? And why?

Is given in the attachment.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

B. No, because the advertisements are an invitation to bid.

Explanation:

An advert is not legally binding as it is just a means to capture consumer attention and convince them to buy a product or service.

Advertisements are merely considered as invitations to bid so the one made by Neti-pot Co is misleading because anybody reading it will immediately assume if a consumer takes the product the way it is advertised and begin to get side effects, the company will really give out the $100 promised.

Therefore, Sheldon wont get any compensation even if she decides to sue.

She will have to bear the consequences alone.
