The value function for an investor is V(X) = 1-e-x for x ≥ 0 and v(x) = -(1-ex) for X <0 where λ = 2.5, a = 0.05, B = 0.05, and X is a gain (a loss is a negative gain). Would an investor with this value function prefer a certain loss of $10, or a gamble in which she has a 50% chance of losing $20 and a 50% chance of losing nothing?
