- Five years after graduating from college, Lucia Li feels that she is finally ready to invest some of her earnings. She has eliminated her credit card debt and has established an emergency fund. Her parents have been pleased with the performance of their mutual fund investments with Janus Capital Group. She has narrowed her search down to two mutual funds: The Janus Balanced Fund (JANBX): This “core” fund consists of stocks and bonds and its goal is diversification. It has historically produced solid long-term returns through different market cycles. The Janus Overseas Fund (JAOSX): This fund invests in overseas companies based on their individual merits instead of their geography or industry sector. The following table reports a portion of the annual returns (in percent) for these two funds from 2000–2016. Year Balanced. Overseas 2000-2.16-18.57 2001-5.04-23.11 2002-6.56-23.89 2003- 13.74-36.79 2004-8.71-18.58 2005-7.75-32.39 2006-10.56-47.21 2007-10.15-27.76 2008-15.22-52.75…I need help with part B-1 of this question.3. A hedge fund has two trading desks (A and B ) which have different traders with different trading strategies. The hedge fund has up to $10 million in total which it can allocate to the two desks for them to start investing. However, it can only allocate at most $7 million to each desk to follow the diversification information given to investors. After 1 year, it is expected that desk A will make a 5% return (i.e. for every $1 in initial funding it will end with $1.05 for a profit of $0.05) and desk B will make a 10% return. However, for every $1 million in initial funding, desk A requires 3 support staff (for trade execution, risk management, IT, etc) and desk B requires 5 support staff. There are only 40 support staff available. (a) Formulate an LP problem to determine how the fund should best allocate its initial funding to maximise the profit in the first year. (b) Solve the hedge fund's problem using the simplex method. (c) By considering the optimum of the dual problem,…

- UG can only properly release a limited number of games, even though they have a number of candidates in development. They are trying to figure out which game they should release next quarter among four possibilities (and in so doing, gain some insight into how to make such decisions in the future). There is some uncertainty as the projected profitability of the release depends on the state of the gaming market 6 months in the future. Based on their experience, UG has provided an estimate of profit for a “good” gaming market and a “bad” gaming market for the four candidate games (see below). Even with these estimates, though, UG managers are unsure which game to choose. UG managers consider themselves to be optimistic about the future but would like to consider a large variety of ways to make this decision. When asked how likely they think it is that the market will be good, UG said “about a 65% chance”. UG mentioned that they are curious about “opportunity loss”, but they have…Vernon Dellvery Is a small company that transports business packages between New York and Chicago.
