Eastborne Realty has $2 million available for the purchase of new rental property. After an initial screening, Eastborne reduced the investment alternatives to townhouses and apartment buildings. Each townhouse can be purchased for $282,000, and five are available. Each apartment building can be purchased for $400,000, and the developer will construct as many buildings as Eastborne wants to purchase. Eastborne’s property manager can devote up to 140 hours per month to these new properties; each townhouse is expected to require 4 hours per month, and each apartment building is expected to require 40 hours per month. The annual cash flow, after deducting mortgage payments and operating expenses, is estimated to be $10,000 per townhouse and $15,000 per apartment building. Eastborne’s owner would like to determine the number of townhouses and the number of apartment buildings to purchase to maximize annual cash flow.arrow_forward

The client has asked that the broker select promising stocks and bonds for investment, subject to the following guidelines: at least 20% in municipal bonds, at least 10% each in real estate and pharmaceutical stock, and at least 40% in a combination of energy and domestic automobile stocks with each accounting for at least 15%. The returns are as follows: Municipal = 5.3%, Domestic Automobile = 8.8%, Energy = 4.9%, Pharmaceuticals = 8.4% and Real Estate = 10.4%. a) Write a linear program complete with objective function and all constraints to Maximize the return.

If the market is unfavorable, the construction of a large facility would result in $185,000 net loss. A small plant would result in a net profit of $110,000 in a favorable market, but a net loss of $25,000 would occur if the market was unfavorable. Doing nothing would result in $0 profit in either market conditions. a) Create a decision table, b) What is your recommendation if you would apply the Maximax criterion (Optimistic)?

The money can be placed in Treasury notes yielding an 8% return or in municipal bonds at an average rate of return of 9%. Bank regulations require diversification to the extent that a t least 50% of the investment be placed in Treasury notes. Because of defaults in such municipalities as California and Texas, it is decided that no more than 40% of the investment be placed in bonds. How much should Sears Investment invest in each security so as to maximize its return on investment?arrow_forward
