PLEASE LOOK AT THE BOOK EXAMPLE BELOW:

Explain why do you get y2(3) = 1 but y2(2) = 0. 

Example 11.2a Suppose that three investment projects with the fol-
lowing return functions are available:
f₂(x)=√x, x=0, 1,...,
f(x) = 10(1e), x=0, 1,...,
and that we want to maximize our return when we have 5 to invest. Now,
10x
yi(x) = x.
Because
10.x
fi(x) = -, x=0, 1,...,
1+x
V₂(x) =
we see that
Vi(x)= fi(x) =
+x
max [f2(y) + V₁(x − y)} = max
Osysx
0y≤x
10(x - y)
1+x=y
V₂(1) = max{10/2, 1) = 5, y2₂(1) = 0,
V₂ (2) = max(20/3, 1+5, √2)=20/3, y2(2) = 0,
V₂(3) = max(30/4, 1+20/3, √√2+5,√√3)=23/3, y2(3) = 1₁
V₂(4)= max(40/5, 1+30/4, √2+20/3, √3+5, √4)
= 8.5, y2 (4) = 1,
V₂(5)= max(50/6, 1+8, √√2+7.5, √√3+20/3, √√4+5, √5)
=9, y₂(5) = 1.
Continuing, we have that
V3(x) = max {f3(y) + V₂(x −y)} = max (10(1-e³)+V₂(x−y)}-

Using that
1-e¹.632,
we obtain
1-e².865, 1-e³ = .950,
1-e982, 1-es = .993,
V3(5)= max(9, 6.32 +8.5, 8.65 +23/3,
9.50+20/3, 9.82 +5,9.93) = 16.32,
y3 (5) = 2.
Thus, the maximal sum of returns from investing 5 is 16.32; the optimal
amount to invest in project 3 is y3(5) = 2; the optimal amount to invest
in project 2 is y₂(3) = 1; and the optimal amount to invest in project 1
is yı(2) = 2.
