Fred is thinking of starting a bowling alley near a college campus. Fred is an expected utility maximizer with utility function:

U(W) = 1 – (3000/W), where W is his wealth. Fred’s total wealth is $12,000. With probability 0.2 the alley will be a failure and he’ll lose $9,000, so that his wealth will be just $3,000. With probability 0.8 it will succeed and his wealth will grow to $X. What is the smallest value of X that would be sufficient to make Fred want to invest in the bowling alley rather than have a wealth of $12,000 with certainty?

Answer:

$14,250

Explanation:

To determine what amount of money will make Fred take his chances and invest in this new business, we first have to solve this equation:

  • current wealth - (% chance of losing money x wealth after losing money)

$12,000 - (20% x $3,000) = $12,000 - $600 = $11,400

Then:

$11,400 / 80% of getting wealthier = $14,250

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Warehouse B:

  • ship 200 refrigerators to outlet 1
  • ship 100 refrigerators to outlet 2

Warehouse A:

  • ship 200 refrigerators to outlet 2

Explanation:

                      Outlet 1 Outlet 2 Availability

Warehouse A    36             30    400

Warehouse B    30     25    300

Requirements  200          300

You should ship 200 refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 1, total distribution costs = 200 x $30 = $6,000

You should ship 100 refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 2, and 200 refrigerators from warehouse A to outlet 2, total distribution costs = (100 x $25) + (200 x $30) = $8,500

total distribution costs = $14,500

The difference in distribution costs from warehouses to outlet 1 is $6, and the difference in distribution costs from warehouses to outlet 2 is $5, so you should send all the refrigerators from warehouse B to outlet 1 to incur in the lowest possible cost.
