The present paper investigates estimation of a exponential mean using a loss function that reflects both goodness of fit and precision of estimation. The Bayes estimators relative to balanced loss functions (BLFs) are derived and admissibility of a class of linear estimators of the form cX + d are also studied.

Keywords: Admissibility; Balanced loss function; Bayes estimtor; Blyth’s method; Inadmissibility;.
