Suppose a family has saved enough for a 10 day vacation (the only one they will be able to take for 10 years) and has a utility

function U = V1/2 (where V is the number of healthy vacation days they experience). Suppose they are not a particularly healthy family and the probability that someone will have a vacation-ruining illness (V = 0) is 20%. What is the expected value of V?

Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%

2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:

Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined

3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days

This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.

V= 2 days

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$9450".

Explanation:

Given:

Payoff from investment,

= $6000

Lending to bank,

= 8000-5000

= 3000

Now,

At 15% interest,

The amount to be received from bank will be:

= 3000\times (1+\frac{15}{100} )

= 3000(1+0.15)

= 3000\times 1.15

= 3450 ($)

hence,

In her old age, most she can assume will be:

= 6000+3450

= 9450 ($)

You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to take money from your
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?

  • yes, you will even have some spare money

annual cost of MBA = 400,000 x 2 years = 800,000

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.8333%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 75.80535

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 75.80535 = 947,566.88 which is more than the cost of the MBA

2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?

  • 42.2138%

800,000 / 75.80535 = 10,553.34

10,553.34 / 25,000 = 0.422138 = 42.2138%

3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?

  • actually you still have more money than what you need even if the interest rate falls to 5%, so you can still take your MBA

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.41666%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 66.72805

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 66.72805 = 834,100.63 which is more than the cost of the MBA

4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose?

  • I would choose the 10.5% semiannual compounding because the effective interest rate is higher.

the effective interest rate of investing at 10% compounded monthly = (1 + 10%/12)¹² - 1 = 10.47%

the effective interest rate of investing at 10.5% compounded semiannually = (1 + 10.5%/2)² - 1 = 10.77%
