Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question is option B) $19 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information -

A risky asset with expected value of $62, yields an expected utility of 146

An asset which has certainty equivalent equal to $43 and yields an expected utility of 146,

so one has to find the risk premium of Natasha , then it would be -

Asset with expected value - Asset with certainty equivalent

= $62 - $43

= $19 .
