An investor has initial wealth w = 2, and a utility function U(w) - 1- exp(-Aw). A lottery has a payoff of 1 with probability p and a payoff of -1 with probability (1-p). (a) Suppose A = 1 and p = 0.85. Should the investor enter into the lottery? (b) Suppose A 1. Solve for the value of p such that the investor is indifferent between entering and not entering the lottery. 2 and p = 0.85. Should the investor enter into the lottery? 2.
