Willy owns a small chocolate factory, located close to a river that occasionally floods in the
spring, with disastrous consequences. Next summer, Willy plans to sell the factory and retire.
The only wealth he will have is the proceeds of the sale of his factory. If there is no flood, the
factory will be worth $500,000. If there is a flood, then what is left of the factory will be worth
$50,000 Willy can buy flood insurance at a cost of $0.10 for each $1 worth of coverage. Willy
thinks that the probability that there will be a flood this spring is 1/10. Let W denote Willy's
contingent wealth if there is a flood and WNF his contingent wealth if there is no flood. Willy's
von Neumann Morgenstern utiity function is F, VVNF 10 (d) To buy insurance that pays him $x
in case of a flood, Willy must pay an insurance premium of 0.1x. (The insurance premium must
be paid whether or not there is flood.) If Willy insures for $x, then if there is a flood, he gets $x
insurance benefits. Suppose that Willy has contracted for insurance that pays him $x in the event
of a flood. Then after paying his insurance premium, his wealth will be WF then his wealth will
be WNr - If Willy has this amount of insurance and there is no flood,
Solution
Answer:-
WF =(1-.1)x
Reason:- Because when you have a flood the insurance company pays you pay ( (1-.1)x )
WNF=0.1x
If there is no flood then you only pay the premium (.1)
