Explanation:

1. If the salary paid by both companies were same people would prefer to work at Realsafe since it more safer. But not too safe provides a higher pay which makes people accept the higher risk over there.

2.The for a worker at Realsafe is 1/10000, while at not to safe it’s 2/10000. The premium associated with that risk Is the $500/year from not to safe.

3. Value of statistical life

= 1*$500 / 1/10000

= 5,000,000.

4. If the value of statistical life is constant across all the population it’s acceptable and valid.
