Consider a household that possesses $100,000 worth of valuables (computers, stereo equipment, jewellery, and so forth). This household faces a 0.10 probability of a burglary. If a burglary were to occur, the household would have to spend $20,000 to replace the stolen items. Suppose it can buy an insurance policy for $500 that would fully reimburse it for the amount of the loss. a) Should the household buy this insurance policy? b) Should it buy the insurance policy if it cost $1,500?

Say an individual is faced with the decision of whether to buy auto insurance or not (like before laws in many states changed). The states of nature are that an accident occurs (with probability 0.008) and no accident occurs (with probability 0.992). Here is the payoff table for the decision maker: State of Nature Decision No Accident Accident Purchase Insurance -500 -500 Do not purchase Ins. 0 -10000 a- What is the expected monetary value of each decision and which is the best for the decision maker? b- Say the individual is a risk avoider. Create a table with plausible values of utility for the risk avoider, calculate the expected utility of each decision, and state which decision is best based on the expected utility idea. c- Explain why neither player has a dominant strategy here. d- Determine the optimal mixed strategy solution. e- What is the value of the game?

Suppose that a car rental agency offers insurance for a week that costs $75. A minor fender bender will cost $2,000, whereas a major accident might cost $16,000 in repairs. Without the insurance, you would be personally liable for any damages. What should you do? Clearly, there are two decision alternatives: take the insurance or do not take the insurance. The uncertain consequences, or events that might occur, are that you would not be involved in an accident, that you would be involved in a fender bender, or that you would be involved in a major accident. Develop a payoff table for this situation. What decision should you make using each strategy? a. aggressive strategy b. conservative strategy c. opportunity loss strategy
