Show three different pairs of integers, a and b, where at least one example includes a negative integer. For each of your examples, determine if each of the following statements are true or false
(a) Develop a model that minimizes semivariance for the Hauck Financial data given in the file HauckData with a required return of 10%. Assume that the five planning scenarios in the Hauck Financial rvices model are equally likely to occur. Hint: Modify model (8.10)-(8.19). Define a variable d, for each scenario and let d₂ > R - R¸ with d ≥ 0. Then make the objective function: Min Let FS = proportion of portfolio invested in the foreign stock mutual fund IB = proportion of portfolio invested in the intermediate-term bond fund LG = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap growth fund LV = proportion of portfolio invested in the large-cap value fund SG = proportion of portfolio invested in the small-cap growth fund SV = proportion of portfolio invested in the small-cap value fund R = the expected return of the portfolio R = the return of the portfolio in years. Min s.t. R₁ R₂ = R₁ R R5 = FS + IB + LG + LV + SG + SV = R₂ R d₁ =R- d₂z R- d₂ ZR- d₁R- d≥R- R = FS, IB, LG, LV, SG, SV…
The Martin-Beck Company operates a plant in St. Louis with an annual capacity of 30,000 units. Product is shipped to regional distribution centers located in Boston, Atlanta, and Houston. Because of an anticipated increase in demand, Martin-Beck plans to increase capacity by constructing a new plant in one or more of the following cities: Detroit, Toledo, Denver, or Kansas. The following is a linear program used to determine which cities Martin-Beck should construct a plant in. Let y₁ = 1 if a plant is constructed in Detroit; 0 if not y₂ = 1 if a plant is constructed in Toledo; 0 if not y₂ = 1 if a plant is constructed in Denver; 0 if not y = 1 if a plant is constructed in Kansas City; 0 if not. The variables representing the amount shipped from each plant site to each distribution center are defined just as for a transportation problem. *,, = the units shipped in thousands from plant i to distribution center j i = 1 (Detroit), 2 (Toledo), 3 (Denver), 4 (Kansas City), 5 (St.Louis) and…
