Assume that in this market, a job offer remains open for only a short time so that continuing to search requires an applicant to reject any current job offer. Moe has just received a job offer that pays $40,000 per year. Moe should:Select one:a. reject the offer regardless of his preference for risk. b. accept the offer if he is risk averse. c. reject the offer if he is risk averse. d. only accept the offer if he is risk-neutral.

    The answer is B.

    Explanation:

    To be risk averse means not wanting to take risk or not chosing higher returns with unknown risks. but rather going for lower returns with known risks.

    Moe receives a job offer of $40,000.

    Now let's calculate the expected returns using the percentage given and the corresponding amount.

    25perecent of $30,000 + 50percent of $40,000 + 25percent of $50,000

    $7,500 + $20,000 + $12,500

    $40,000

    The expected value from the data and the salary given are the same, so he should accept the job if he is risk averse.
