Question 2

Johnny owns a house that would cost 100,000 to replace should it ever be destroyed by fire. There is a 0.1 chance that the house could be destroyed during the course of a year. Johnny's utility function is U = W0.5. How much would fair insurance cost that completely replaces the house if destroyed by fire? Assuming that Johnny has no other wealth, how much would Johnny be willing to pay for such an insurance policy? Why the difference?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
