Albert is worried that his entire potato plantation which is expected to yield P400,000 income will be totally devastated by bad weather conditions. He obtained a P300,000 crop insurance cover for P30,000. Just before harvest, a rare frost totally destroyed Albert's plantation. The insurance company paid the policy proceeds.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Expected profit = 4,00,000

Earned profit = 3,00,000

Insurance amount recieved= 30,000

Total return on capital= Earned profit+Other additional profit earned(insurance amount)

=3,00,000+30,000=3,30,000

Profit/loss on investment=Expected profit-earned profit

=4,00,000-3,30,000(3,00,000+30,000)

Loss on investment =70,000

A consumer spends his entire monthly income on x and y. The price of a unit of x is $16 and the price of a unit of y is $12. If he consumes the bundle (x, y) = (40, 30), his MRS x for y is 3/2, meaning he would be indifferent to giving up 3 units of y to get 2 more units of x (or vice versa). Is this consumption plan optimal? If not, does the plan consumer...
