Innis Investments manages funds for a number of companies and wealthy clients. The investment strategy is tailored to each client’s needs. For a new client, Innis has been authorized to invest up to $1.2 million in two investment funds: a stock fund and a money market fund. Each unit of the stock fund costs $50 and provides an annual rate of return of 10%; each unit of the money market fund costs $100 and provides an annual rate of return of 4%.
The client wants to minimize risk subject to the requirement that the annual income from the investment be at least $60,000. According to Innis’ risk measurement system, each unit invested in the stock fund has a risk index of 8, and each unit invested in the money market fund has a risk index of 3; the higher risk index associated with the stock fund simply indicates that it is the riskier investment. Innis’s client also specified that at least $300,000 be invested in the money market fund.
Let S = units purchased in the stock fund…

- Draw an activity diagram, which takes the parameters of month/year and returns the number of days in the month of the year. In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Note that the following three criteria are taken into account to identify leap years: • The year is divisible by 4; • If the year can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless; • The year is also divisible by 400, then it is a leap year.arrow_forwardQ2: For the activities shown below determine: 1.

- Earned Value is a method of calculating project status. It does this from two perspectives: Time (schedule) and Cost. After applying the earned value method, the project manager will know whether the project is behind/ahead of schedule and over/under budget. Note: PV=Planned Value, AC=Actual Cost, EV = Earned Value. Explain, with description and calculations, what you can tell about the health of the project based on the following graphs.arrow_forwardProblem Statement: A famous product photographer Xavier is in high demand and is being approached by various companies to get their products photographed. Xavier does all of this product shoots at his studio and wants to make sure that he maximizes his returns by covering as many photoshoots in a day as possible. For a product shoot to be conducted, the product first has to be staged and then photographed. He has a team who stages the products and he does the photoshoots. Depending on the product, it takes different amounts of time to stage and varied time to complete the shoot. His team can stage another product in another part of the studio while Xavier is busy with a photoshoot of a previously staged product. Assuming that his team can work on only one product at a time before they move to staging another and Xavier also finishes one product photoshoot before moving to the next, you are expected to help Xavier make best use of his team and his time by deciding the order in which the…arrow_forwardA case study demonstrating the students' accomplishment of project objectives is a crucial component of the thesis.

- A project has three sequences of activities (paths), two of which are critical. The critical paths of this project can be characterized in the following way: a. The slack times for each task in the entire project are zero. b. The chain of activities (from start to finish) that has the largest sum of activity durations. c. The early start date and early finish date are always the same for each activity on the critical path. d. To reduce the project duration, you must reduce the slack time of a task on the critical path. e. None of the above are correct.arrow_forwardSection C. Research scenarios. Read the following scenario describing a research project, and then write a short criticism of this project. You should clearly identify at least four aspects of the project which you believe are incorrect or poor. These may relate to the research question, the experimental design, the analysis and reporting, and/or any ethical or academic misconduct issues. For each criticism which you identify, clearly describe the problem and state how it should have been addressed to improve the quality of the research. Question 15. A company providing on-line teaching software claims that students who are on-line students achieve better results on learning programming languages than on campus students. The company has developed a hypothesis based on this claim. The company chose one university to conduct research to test this hypothesis. The company applied for research ethics clearance and was granted it. At the end of semester, both on-line and on campus students…arrow_forwardA significant portion of the thesis is a case study that demonstrates how the students accomplished their project's objectives.

O When executing the Greedy Solution Heuristic for this problem, the first project selected is project 5. O When executing the Greedy Solution Heuristic for this problem, the second project selected is project 3. O Exactly two answers are correct. O The Greedy Solution Heuristic completely ignores the project costs and only looks at the project returns. O The solution found using the Greedy Solution Heuristic for this problem will have 3 projects.arrow_forwardQuestion 3 Draw a detailed activity Diagram in draw.io and screenshot it for me. ( **Please take note is a detailed activity diagram) Scenario The exam unit uses the system after the subject registration period has closed. The system will display a list of subjects that have registered students. Using this list, the exam unit will plan out examination week. Examination week lasts 6 days, from Monday to Saturday. For each day, the exam unit will assign a subject to that day. Each day can have a total of 6 examination hours with subjects having 2- hour or 3-hour examinations. For example, if the subjects are 2-hour examinations, then 3 of them can be scheduled for the day and if the subjects are 3-hour examinations, then only 2 of them can be scheduled for the day. There can also be a mixture of 2-hour and 3-hour examinations. If the exam unit schedules too many examination hours for that day then the day resets and the exam unit needs to reschedule again. This process stops when…arrow_forward
