7.7 A farmer believes there is a 50-50 chance that the next growing season will be abnormally rainy. His expected utility function has the form 1 expected utility =In n YNR +In YR, where YNR and YR represent the farmer's income in the states of “normal rain" and “rainy," respectively. a. Suppose the farmer must choose between two crops that promise the following income prospects: Crop YNR YR Wheat $28,000 $10,000 $15,000 Corn $19,000 Which of the crops will he plant? b. Suppose the farmer can plant half his field with each crop. Would he choose to do so? Explain your result. c. What mix of wheat and corn would provide maximum expected utility to this farmer? d. Would wheat crop insurance-which is available to farmers who grow only wheat and which costs $4,000 and pays off $8,000 in the event of a rainy growing season-cause this farmer to change what he plants?

QUESTION 5 A consumer has utility u (I) = √I and income $1,600. The cost of going to the doctor is $1,150, and the cost of going to the gym is $150. If the consumer goes to the gym, the probability of getting sick is 20%; if she does not go to the gym, the probability of getting sick is 80%. When sick, the consumer must go to the doctor. An insurance company is offering a health insurance plan with an insurance premium of $230 and a co-pay of $110 (that is, the consumer must pay the $110 if she goes to the doctor). a) The consumer's expected utility from purchasing this insurance and going to the gym is b) The consumer's expected utility from purchasing this insurance and not going to the gym is c) In this market, the $110 copay ✓ QUESTION 6 A salesperson is trying to sell ca Given her effort e, with probabili The dealership pays her a bonu a) Given the bonus b, the salesp b) Suppose the dealership pays *Select Answer* 34.6061 35.7999 37.0135 43.0338 42.4303 46.2601 fixes the adverse…

12. A consumer who conforms to the von Neumann-Morgenstern axioms is faced with four situations A, B, C, and D. She prefers A to B, B to C, and C to D. Experimentation reveals that the consumer is indifferent between B and a lottery ticket with probabilities of 0.4 and 0.6 for A and D respectively, and that she is indifferent between C and a lottery ticket with probabilities of 0.2 and 0.8 for B and D respectively. Construct a set of von Neumann- Morgenstern utility numbers for the four situations.
