Investor A has an initial wealth of $100 and a utility function of the form: U(w) = log(w) where w is her wealth at any time. In

vestment Z offers her a return of −18% or +20% with equal probability. i. What is her expected utility if she invests nothing in Investment Z? ii. What is her expected utility if she invests entirely in Investment Z? iii. What proportion a of her wealth should she invest in Investment Z to maximize her expected utility?

With this initial investment of 100, the investors utility if she invests nothing is 2. If she invests entirely her utility is 2.00432

From the available question, these are the the solutions from option (i) to (iii)

i.) We have utility defined as

U(w) = log w

w = 100

Utility=log(100)

= 2

ii) If she invests entirely in Z, utility:

return*probability\\

-18% x 50% =  -9%

20% x 50% = 10%

-9% + 10% = 1%

w = 100 + 1

= 101

Utility = log(101)

= 2.00432

This is her utility if she invests entirely in Z.

iii) This investor has these two choices:

  • invest in z
  • leave resources idle

If she invests in z she gets a 1% increase. Therefore her wealth increases or is maximum when she invests in Z.

Her utility if she invests this proportion in Z is the same as what was solved in (ii) above.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is 23.33 and 11.67.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

ROE = 20%

Plowback ratio = 0.30

Earning per share = $2

Rate of return = 12%

So, we can calculate the price and P/E ratio by using following formula:

First we calculate the growth rate of the company.

So, Growth rate (g) = Plowback ratio × ROE

By putting the value we get,

Growth rate = 0.30 × 0.20 = 6%

Now we calculate the price,

So, Price = Earning × ( 1 - Plowback ratio) ÷ ( Return rate - Growth rate)

= $2 × ( 1 - 0.30) ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.06)

= 1.4 ÷ 0.06

= 23.33

And P/E ratio = Price ÷ earning per share

= 23.33 ÷ 2

= 11.67

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Before a large corporation makes any investment decision, they carry out a cost benefit analysis. In other words, before the banks install clear acrylic partitions, they will decide if the cost of installing those partitions offset the costs of the robberies. The problem with this reasoning is that all banks have insurance against robberies, so if they are robbed the insurance company pays them. So installing the partitions do not represent a lot of benefits for the bank, but they are expensive and represent a large investment. The only way that banks install them is that insurance companies force them to do so.

Which pricing objective de-emphasizes price and can lead to a climate of nonprice competition in an industry?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Status quo pricing objective de-emphasizes price and can lead to a climate of nonprice competition in an industry. Status quo—seeks to maintain a consistent level of profit made from a certain product by keeping your product pricing comparable to those of the same or similar items sold by your competitors in order to avoid beginning a price war.

The soft drink industry is an often used illustration of status quo pricing. Be it a Pepsi or a Coca-Cola product, the cost of a bottle of soda tends to be quite constant. Coca-Cola and Pepsi often represent the status quo in terms of pricing.
