the picture attached is the main question while the solution is given in the explanation box below

Explanation:

a)

2017 = Loss = 25000 * 8 * [0.42-0.50] = 16000

2018 = Gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.50-0.43] = 14000

b)

2017 = gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.48-0.42] = 12000

c)

2017 = Loss = 25000 * 8 * [0.48 - 0.50] = 4000

2018 = Gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.50-0.43] = 14000

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.
