You have a net worth of $981251 and a utility function given by u(w) = w0.5. If your house catches fire, a 2% likelihood of occurring, you expect it to be total loss and it was recently assessed at $703222. What is the risk premium ($) you'd be willing to pay for full coverage against this fire risk? Hints: Compute the certainty equivalent (CEQ) as you did in Comm 220 and recall that the risk premia is the amount you'd be willing to pay over the expected loss
