B_. Moody's utility for consumption is represented by the utility function U(c)=100In(c). His earnings this year are $25,000. There is a 15% chance that he will incur a car accident later this year, which will lead to a $6,000 cost that must be paid this year. He can fully insure by paying a $1,250 premium. With the given utility function, what is the expected utility of Moody's optimal bundle this year? Assume that Moody is never a saver or borrower. Pick the closest answer.

a.1004

b.1007
