A trust fund is planning to invest up to $6000 in two types of bonds.: A and B. Bond A is safer than bond B and carries a dividend of 8% while bond B carries a dividend of 10%. Suppose that the bond’s rule state that no more than $4000 may be invested in bond B, while at least $1500 must be invested in bond A. The amount invested in bond B cannot exceed one half the amount invested in bond A. How much should be invested in each type of bond to maximize the fund’s return? Formulate the LP Model, define the decision variables and sketch the graph of the constraints. Determine the optimal solution.

  1. A trust fund is planning to invest up to $6000 in two types of bonds.: A and B. Bond A is safer than bond B and carries a dividend of 8% while bond B carries a dividend of 10%. Suppose that the bond’s rule state that no more than $4000 may be invested in bond B, while at least $1500 must be invested in bond A. The amount invested in bond B cannot exceed one half the amount invested in bond A. How much should be invested in each type of bond to maximize the fund’s return?

Formulate the LP Model, define the decision variables and sketch the graph of the constraints. Determine the optimal solution.
