Question:

3. Calculate the amount of fair insurance Scott buys if the tax is collected only if there is no fire. If the tax is collected only if no fire occurs, Scott pays the insurance company 96 and receives 480 if a fire occurs. If there is no fire, Scott’s wealth is 500 - 96 - 20 = 384. If a fire occurs, the insurance company pays 480, so Scott’s wealth is 480 - 96 = 384. Thus, he has the same after-tax wealth in both states of nature.
