An investor has $70,000 to divide among several instruments. Municipal bonds have an 8.5% return, C D’s a 5% return, t-bills a 6.5% return, and growth stock 13%. The following guidelines have been established: No more than 20% in municipal bonds Investment in growth stock fund should be greater than other three alternatives. At least 10% invested in treasury bills and municipal bonds Less should be invested in treasury bills and growth stocks than in CDs and municipal bonds by a ratio of 1.2 to 1. All $70,000 should be invested. Formulate a model and solve it using computer. How should the $70,000 be allocated to each alternative to maximize annual return?

Question

An investor has $70,000 to divide among several instruments. Municipal bonds have an 8.5% return, C D’s a 5% return, t-bills a 6.5% return, and growth stock 13%.

The following guidelines have been established:

  1. No more than 20% in municipal bonds
  2. Investment in growth stock fund should be greater than other three alternatives.
  3. At least 10% invested in treasury bills and municipal bonds
  4. Less should be invested in treasury bills and growth stocks than in CDs and municipal bonds by a ratio of 1.2 to 1.
  1. All $70,000 should be invested.

Formulate a model and solve it using computer. How should the $70,000 be allocated to each alternative to maximize annual return? What is the annual return?

  

Notes:

  • Attach a Linear Programming computer file of the solution (QM for Windows - save it as a ".lin" file). Mac computer file is not accepted.
  • Attach a Word file to answer the questions: How should the $70,000 be allocated to each alternative to maximize annual return? What is the annual return?
