You are offered a job with a new startup or Accenture Global Health Consulting. Accenture would pay you $40,000 for sure. The start-up will pay you one of two salaries based on firm performance. You determine that if you take the job at the start-up there is 50% chance you would earn $90,000 but also a 50% chance you earn only $6,400.
a) expected income from startup
=45,000 + 3200 = 48200
Accenture expected income
b)
c) we will choose Accenture until it gives us more utility than startup ( that is more than 190). By maximum, Accenture can reduce our income till our expected utility become equal to 191 atleast. In this scenario we will still choose accenture.
