Andy and Kim live together. Andy may invest $14 comma 000 (possibly by taking on an extra job to earn the additional money) in Kim's education this year. This investment will raise Kim's future earnings by $20 comma 000 (in present valueLOADING... terms). If they stay together, they will share the benefit from the additional earnings. However, the probability is 20% that they will split up in the future. If they were married (or in a civil union) and then split, Andy would get half of Kim's additional earnings. If they were living together without any legal ties and they split, then Andy would get nothing. Suppose that Andy is risk neutral. Will Andy invest in Kim's education? Does your answer depend on the couple's legal status? A. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they have legal ties. B. Andy will not invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. D. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they do not have legal ties. E. Andy will be indifferent about investing in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.
