Question 1
In accounting, uncertainty describes the inability to forecast results or repercussions due to a lack of information or a foundation to establish forecasts. Thus, following particular steps while making crucial financial decisions in uncertain circumstances is crucial. Financial decision-making is a very broad field of research with many competing ideas. In most circumstances, financial applications are processed under the pretext of the expected utility hypothesis. Prospects are ranked randomly according to their predicted utility. Challenges that require choosing appropriate variables must be solved analytically to apply the anticipated utility function effectively. Financial decisions are made by considering corresponding budget limitations in particular conditions, such as the optimal hedging problem (Terzi, 2010). Other times, the budget restriction manifests as the restriction that the sum of the value weights cannot exceed one, like in the ideal portfolio diversification concept. Expected utility, a highly debatable issue that cannot be immediately observed, is the main issue in either case (Faulkner et al., 2017). Thus making financial decisions even more difficult. Finding an expected utility function that accurately represents the utility mapping is a vital step in this process of issue optimization. Thus,
