A terminal portfolio wealth floor is a prescribed lower bound, possibly a random variable, on terminal portfolio portfolio wealth. In a complete market, its state-price density cost cannot exceed initial portfolio wealth. Nonnegative admissibility replaces a possibly negative floor by its positive part.

For CRRA utility of a consumption satisfaction stock, jointly scaling initial portfolio wealth, consumption satisfaction and controls gives homogeneity of degree $1-R$. The value function therefore depends on one dimensionless ratio after factoring out ${\xi }^{1-R}$. The effective consumption coefficient becomes ${\xi }^{-R}[(1-R)v-(x+1)v^{\prime }]$.
