An insurance company estimates the probability of an earthquake in the next year to be 0.0015. the average damage done to a house by an earthquake it estimates to be $90,000. if the company offers earthquake insurance for $150, what is company`s expected value of the policy? hint: think, is it profitable for the insurance company or not? will they gain (positive expected value) or lose (negative expected value)? if the expected value is negative, remember to show "-" sign. no "+" sign needed for the positive expected value

David consumes two things: gasoline (g) and bread (b). david's utility function is u(g, b) = 10g^0.25 b^0.75. use the lagrange technique to solve for david's optimal choices of gasoline and bread as a function of the price of gasoline, p_g, the price of bread, p_b, and his income m. with recent decrease in the price of gasoline (maybe due to external shock such as shale gas production) does david increase his consumption of gasoline? for david, how does partial differential g/partial differential p_g depend on his income m? that is, how does david's change in gasoline consumption due to an increase in the price of gasoline depend on his income level? to answer these questions, find the cross-partial derivative, |partial differential^2 g/partial differential m partial differential p_g.
