Suppose that Amy has the following value function: v(w) = w.3/4 when w > 0 = -2(-w) 3/4 when w < 0 where x is the realized outcome relative to the reference point. Assume that the my's reference point is the status quo and that she is offered the prospect P1: P1(0.6, $100,-$100) a) Will she participate in the prospect? b) Suppose that Amy participates in the prospect and loses $100. She feels bad about it and perceives it as a loss. Her reference point is unchanged at the original status quo.
