A company has $10,000 to invest , to be divided into fixed interest, equities and property. For surety of return the client requires at least 50% to be placed in fixed interest and for liquidity he specifies that no more than 30% be invested in property. The projected return over the coming year is forecast to be 5% on the fixed interest investments, 7% on equities and 8% on property. How should the £10,000 be split between the three types of investment in order to maximise the return over the coming year? Hint: To formulate the linear programming problem use x as the amount invested in fixed interests, y as the amount invested in equities and then 10,000 - x - y will be the amount invested in property.

Chris, the president of SGC Properties, is considering submitting a bid to purchase property that will be sold by sealed bid at a county tax foreclosure. Chris’ initial judgment is to submit a $5 million. Based on his experience, Chris estimates that a bid of $5 million will have a 0.2 probability of being the highest bid and securing the property for SGC. The current date is July 1. Sealed bids for the property must be submitted by September 15. The winning bid will be announced on October 1. If SGC submits the highest bid and obtains the property, the firm plans to build and sell a complex of luxury condominiums. However, a complicating factor is that the property is currently zoned for single-family residences only. Chris believes that a referendum cold be placed on the voting ballot in time for the November election. Passage of the referendum would change the zoning of the property and permit construction of the condominiums. The sealed-bid procedure requires the bid to be…

Strassel Investors buys real estate, develops it, and resells it for a profit. A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and develops this property, it can then be sold for $156,000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100,000. Two competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be uniformly distributed between $100,000 and $146,000. (a) What is the estimate of the probability Strassel will be able to obtain the property using a bid of $126,000? (Use at least 5,000 trials. Round your answer three decimal places.) (b) How much does Strassel need to bid to be assured of obtaining the property? $126,000 $136,000 $146,000 (c) Use the simulation model to compute the profit…
