Part c and d solution need 3. Han Solo is delivering illicit cargo to the rebel forces on Alderaan, a planet blockadedby the galactic empire. In order to deliver his cargo successfully, Han Solo must pass2 checkpoints, each of which will not detect his cargo with probability q. If Han Soloscargo is detected at one or more checkpoints, then his final wealth is 0. If Han Solopasses both checkpoints undetected, then his final wealth is 100. Han Solo's risk-preference is described by Bernoulli utility function Vw. Thus Han Solo's wealth isdescribed by a lottery: 100 with probability q?, 0 with probability 1- q.(a) What is Han Solo's expected utility?Suppose an Imperial officer makes an offer to Han Solo. The officer will reduce numberof checkpoints from 2 to 1, but if Han Solo gets through, he has to pay k to the officer.If Han Solo gets caught, his payoff is 0. If he agrees to this arrangement, then his finalwealth is described by a lottery: 100 – k with probability q, 0 with probability 1- q.(b) What is Han Solo's expected utility if he agrees to this arrangement?(c) What is the most that Han Solo would be willing to pay as a bribe? That is,what is the largest k for which Han Solo takes the deal?(d) Repeat parts (a)-(c) assuming Han Solo is risk-neutral, u(w) = w. Is he willing topay more to the Imperial officer when he is risk neutral, or risk averse? Explainin a sentence or two.

We are given that Han Solo needs to pass 2 checkpoints and the probability that his cargo will not…

(c) What is the most that Han Solo would be willing to pay as a bribe? That is, what is the largest k for which Han Solo takes the deal? (d) Repeat parts (a)-(c) assuming Han Solo is risk-neutral, u(w) = w. Is he willing to pay more to the Imperial officer when he is risk neutral, or risk averse? Explain %3D in a sentence or two.
