- Answer all questions. Imagine you are a person with a chronic disease. If the disease flares up, you will have to take substantial leave from work. The probability of the flare-up is 0.2 (or 20%). If you do not need to take leave from work, your income is $6400. If you take leave from work, your income is $1600. What is the expected value of your income? Expected utility E [= (U(1)] = pU (IS) + (1-p) U (IH) 1600 x 0.2 + 0.8 x 6400 = 5540 Assume that your utility function . What is the expected utility of your income? 0.8 √ 6400 + 0.2 √1600 = 72 utils Suppose a company is offering insurance where your premium is $500 and your payout is $2000.

(Hint: you need to calculate your adjusted earnings in both states)BPO Services is in the business of digitizing information from forms that are filled out by hand. In 2006, a big client gave BPO a distribution of the forms that it digitized in house last year, and BPO estimated how much it would cost to digitize each form. Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost A 0.5 $3.00 B 0.5 $1.00 The expected cost of digitizing a form is . Suppose the client and BPO agree to a deal, whereby the client pays BPO to digitize forms. The price of each form processed is equal to the expected cost of the form that you calculated in the previous part of the problem. Suppose that after the agreement, the client sends only forms of type A. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is . This leads to an expected loss of per form for BPO. (Hint: Do not round your answers. Enter the loss as a positive number.)The small family company that you manage has invested $35,000 in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished.
