Assume now that the insurance company is a monopolist that wants to maximize expected profits. What price would the monopolist charge this consumer

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]r\leq 2.5[/tex]"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

When x is higher, that insurer's profits are greatly increased. The user wishes to obtain the same quantity in both cases.  

[tex]\to 500000-rx = 500000-rx + x- 200,000\\\\\to x = 200000[/tex]

Its usefulness must be greater than 0 if there is no accident.

[tex]\to U(500000-xr)\geq 0\\\\\to \log (500000- r\times 200000) \geq 0 \\\\\to (500000- r\times 200000) \geq 0\\\\\to r\leq 2.5[/tex]
