A portfolio manager is evaluating the potential returns of an investment. They believe the investment's future price, denoted by XX, can take two possible values: 50 or 150, each with equal probability. The manager uses the natural logarithm, ln(x)ln(x), to represent the utility of a given return. Calculate the expected utility, Eln(X)Eln(X), and compare it to the utility of the expected return, ln(EX)ln(EX). What is the approximate numerical difference between ln(EX)ln(EX) and Eln(X)Eln(X)?
