Situation 32-1 Suppose That the Equation That Represents the Expected Benefits of Benefits

Situation 32-1
Suppose that the equation that represents the expected benefits of burglary for a given prospective criminal is as follows:
​
EB = P_s x Loot
The criminal's cost equation is as follows:
EC = [P_p x (I + F) ] + AC
Where:
EB is the expected benefits of burglary
P_s is the probability of successfully burglarizing a house
Loot is the dollar take from the burglary
EC is the expected costs of burglary
P_p is the probability of imprisonment
I is the income the criminal gives up if caught and imprisoned
F is the dollar value the criminal puts on freedom
AC is the anguish cost of committing a burglary
​
​
-Refer to Situation 32-1. If the prospective criminal sets the following values: ​
P_s = 65 percent
Loot = $20,000
P_p = 20 percent
I = $30,000
F = $15,000
AC = $5,000
​
The prospective criminal's expected benefit from committing the burglary is ______________ and his expected cost of committing the burglary is _______________. Economic theory tells us that under these circumstances, the prospective criminal ______________ commit the burglary.

A) $13,000; $14,000; will
B) $13,000; $14,000; will not
C) $6,667; $50,000; will not
D) $57,500; $50,000; will
