Situation 33-1 Suppose that the equation that represents the expected benefits of burglary for a given prospective criminal is as follows: EB = Ps x Loot The criminal's cost equation is as follows: EC = [Pp x (I + F)] + AC Where: EB is the expected benefits of burglary Ps is the probability of successfully burglarizing a house Loot is the dollar take from the burglary EC is the expected costs of
burglary Pp 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 33-1. If the prospective criminal sets the following values: Ps = 65 percent Loot = $20,000 Pp = 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
