A firm purchases a life insurance contract from a sick person, then collects the payout when he dies. These types of contracts are called viatical settlements. It is the sale of a policy owner's existing life insurance policy to a third party owner for more than its cash surrender value but less than the net death benefit (Wikipedia). These markets are also referred to as reverse insurance markets. Firms have an incentive to enter into such settlements if they expect the person whose life insurance policy is being purchased to die relatively soon. If the person dies, the firm gets to collect the death benefit. Answer the following question below that pertain to viatical settlement markets:

Q. Would this type of a market suffer adverse selection problems? Explain your answer clearly. [Hint: Students are advised to look into BHT text or do some Google research on this to be able to answer this question properly. There is the theoretical explanation and then there is what actually happened in the market]

Max enjoys windsurfing and snorkeling. Max can either rent windsurfing or snorkeling equipment for a fixed price per hour. The table below shows the total utility Max gets from each activity. Max has a budget of 40$ and windsurfing costs 10$ per hour and snorkeling costs 5$ per hour.

1. Calculate Max marginal utility from windsurfing at each number of hours per day and calculate Max’s marginal utility from snorkeling at each number of hours per day.
2. Calculate Max’s marginal utility per dollar from windsurfing at each number of hours per day and calculate Max’s marginal utility per dollar from snorkeling at each number of hours per day.

1. In the table below, fill in the combinations of snorkeling and windsurfing that exhausts Max’s budget and fill in the marginal utilities per dollar.
2. How many hours does Max windsurf and how many hours does he snorkel to maximize his utility?

1. One way to prevent "food insecurity" and promote nutritional health is to develop and operate a community garden that grows fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to the traditional outdoor community garden, there is the possibility of employing an indoor gardening method that uses hydroponics (a water-based "soil") to grow certain fruits and vegetables throughout the year. In either case, resources are required to grow food.

Please list the principal non-human resources required to produce food indoors using hydroponics versus the traditional outdoor gardening method. Please list at least 3 capital and/or natural resources used in each method.

After Hurricane Katrina, a number of cases where a question of whether property damage was wind related or water related were brought to the public’s attention.. Homeowners tend to insure against those negative situations that they deem to be most probable. In a case such as a hurricane, should an insurance company be willing to cover all types of damage even if the homeowner is insured only for water damage. Why?

explain weak sustainability and strong sustainability and how each determines whether society is being sustainable. Next, explain what types of policies would be advocated for from each position and provide some examples of actual policies that have been implemented. Finally, take a position regarding one of these and argue why it is a better conception of sustainability.

i think weak sustainability has something to do with being able to substitute natural capital with i think it was constructed capital? I think strong sustainability is the opposite where they reject the idea that constructed capital can substitute natural capital. I am a little unclear on what the question is trying to say on whether society is being stable? If someone can help break down the question a little more (if that is possible) I think that would really help me getting started. thanks in advance.

Scammers Inc. has developed a new Immune Booster drink (IB) as well as a “cure” for Covid-19 based on Colloidal Silver (CS). As the product manager for the firm, you are responsible for setting the pricing policy for the new products. You are considering a bundled package that includes both products, and you assume the marginal cost of production is zero for planning purposes. You have identified four basic types of customers who may buy these new products, and their reservation prices for the two new products are provided in the following table:

1. Suppose you sell the two products separately, and each buyer is expected to purchase one unit of the product per week. Which prices for IB and CS maximize weekly revenue? What is the weekly revenue equal to?

2. If you offer the two products under a pure bundling strategy, what is the revenue maximizing bundle price? What is the weekly sales revenue from the pure bundling scheme?

3. What are your firm’s profits if you charge $19 for a bundle containing one unit of IB and one unit of CS but also sell the products separately at a price of $14 for IB and $18 for CS?
