Consistent framing
Notes for chapter 8
![Page 2: Consistent framing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fdc550346895dcee2dd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

Accounting and decisions• In accounting decision problems are often modified
Fixed costs are not included– Often only incremental costs are considered– Costs are approximated
• Profit maximization is often assumed– Cost minimization
• Uncertainty is often not considered– Risk and risk premiums– Variance and covariance among projects
• Time preferences are also disregarded– No discounting

More accounting
• Product classification– Primary product – Secondary products– Scrap
• Cost allocations• Transfer pricing• ABC costing

Rational Behavior
• Intelligent, wise, and enlightened.• Economic setting pursue
– Self-interest – Wealth
• How do we describe rationality• How do we model rationality

Rational Behavior
• Consistency– Complete and transitive ranking
• Two statements equivalent. – Ranking complete and transitive. – Exists a function on A, ω(a),
• a`, a ́ A, ω(a`) ≥ ω(a ́) ∈• Only when a` is ranked as good as a ́. • (The set A is finite)
• Smoothness

A generic decision problem
max ( )subject to
aa A
We want to maximize a generic function subject to some constraints of feasibility.This could take the form as:

Irrelevance of Increasing Transformations
• Definition 19 Function T is an increasing transformation of function ω(a) if ω (a) > ω (â) if and only if T[ω(a)] > T[ω(â)] for every a and â in the domain of the original function
• The solution to a decision problem is unaffected by an increasing transformation of the objective function.

Component search
• When faced with an optimization problem of several variables we do component search when we solve the problem sequentially, by first optimizing with respect to one variable then the next etc.

42
Cost terminology
• Cost and benefit• F(z) = B(z) – C(z)
– Separation always possible– Separation hardly unique
• Relevant cost– Is simply the portion of the cost function that
varies with the options at hand– Depends upon framing
![Page 43: Consistent framing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fdc550346895dcee2dd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Our objective
• Are we maximizing profit?• Are we maximizing wealth?• Are we maximizing utility?
– Are these different?• What happened to uncertainty?• How do we cope with uncertainty?• Is risk aversion part of our story?
![Page 44: Consistent framing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fdc550346895dcee2dd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Back to accounting• Cost function
– Which products are included?– How is scrap accounted for?
• Cost allocation– Are externalities accounted for?
• Transfer pricing– Linear pricing – first order condition maintained?
• ABC costing– Approximation of cost function?
![Page 45: Consistent framing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fdc550346895dcee2dd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Conclusions • Ease of analysis vs complete specification• Framing is this decision• Notion of cost follows frame• Cost allocation might be part of framing• Where did the problem set-up come from
– Out of the blue– A handy and clever representation of the problem at
hand• Professional judgment
