# Question: 1 suppose i offered you the following bond the bond...

###### Question details

1. Suppose I offered you the following Bond. The bond pays out $200 per year for ten years, then pays the principal payment$5000 at the end of the contract period. If I offered you this bond for $3,156.63 What is the rate of return on this bond? 2. There are two investment projects: one risky, paying$200 with probability 0.40 or $150 with probability 0.60, or a riskless project paying$160. Further, suppose Rosa's utility function can be approximated by 𝑈(𝑥) = √𝑋 where X denotes the payoffs she receives. What project should she choose? What is the expected value on the risky project? Calculate the Risk-Premium of the risky investment.

3. Suppose you are renting a home in a rough part of town. You are considering purchasing rental insurance to cover losses associated with a burglary. Your initial wealth is 10,000. You believe that the probability of a break-in is 0.10 and this would result in a wealth loss of 8,000. If there is no breakin, then your wealth remains the same. Suppose your utility function for any level of wealth x equals u(x) = ln(x).
