Extracted text: 7. Consider an individual whose utility function over money is u(w) = 1+2w. (a) Is the individual risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-loving? Does it depend on w? (b) Suppose the individual has initial wealth ¥W and faces the possible loss of Y. The probability that the loss will occur is . Suppose insurance is available at price p, where p is not necessarily the fair price. Find the optimal amount of insurance the individual should buy. You may assume that the solution is interior. (c) Is there a price at which the individual will not want to buy any insurance? If so, find it. If no, explain.
