The client has a good deal of trust in the investment house, but she also has her own ideas about the distribution of the funds being invested. In particular, she requests that the firm select whatever stocks and bonds they believe are well-rated, but within thefollowing guidelines:1. Municipal bonds should comprise at least 25% of the investment.2. At least 30% of the funds should be placed in a combination of electronic firms, aerospace firms, and drug manufacturers.3. No more than 50% of the amount invested in municipal bonds should beplaced in a high-risk, high –yielding nursing home stock.Subject to these restraints, the client’s goal is to maximize projected return on investments.

Suppose a wine seller has 1000 different wines on offer and decides to advertise half of them. We are asked to assess the effect of advertising on wine sales, and are given last month's sales figures. a) Explain in words why the 'naive' comparison of sales figures may not be informative of the ATE, ATT or ATU. b) What do you need to assume about selection bias for the comparison of sales figures to be informative of the ATE, ATT and ATU? Also write your answer in terms of conditional expectations. c) Can the naive comparison equal the ATE even with selection bias? Explain. d) Assume average sales for advertised wines were $600, whereas non-advertised wines were $800. Assume also that the selection bias in o is -$300 and the selection bias in y, is -$400. Complete the table below and explain your answers. (Note: Half of wines are advertised). Not Advertised Advertised…arrow_forward
- Q.9The human resource, finance and marketing managers at XYZ Ltd, a manufacturing plant are generally at a conflict because they have their own objectives. Usually each manager in the firm thinks that only he/she is qualified enough to evaluate, judge and decide on any matter, according to their professional criteria. They have arguments on every little decision where they always try to ignore each other suggestion. Continue arguments among the managers leads to job conflict, no proper planning, extra cost, high attrition rate and grievance in the organization. Top level management was fractured and frustrated because it the situation continues then organization will not able to sustain for longer duration in the market. There was gossip and "pot stirring" among the staff. The CEOS management style was not helping the organization function smoothly. Key staff were thinking about quitting. Meetings revealed the source of the fracture: unmet expectations, perceived lack of personal…arrow_forwardQ1arrow_forwardQ-2) A company makes two kinds of door Knobs, standard and deluxe ,the making process cost the company 15$ for the standard and 20$ for the deluxe by making on a grinder and a smoother machines, which they can be run for at most 80 hours a week, each standard one needs 2 hours on the grinder, and 4 hours on the smoother, and each deluxe one needs 4 hours on the grinder and 3 hours on the smoother ,the company sales at 25$,35$ for the standard and the deluxe respectively.

- Question 1 An electronic component manufacturer has two facilities producing a range of resistors. Facility 1 costs €2000 per day to operate. Facility 2 costs €2500 per day to operate. The production capacities per day are as follows: Facility 1 Facility 2 Orders 25,000 Resistors 1% tolerance: 400 300 Resistors 5% tolerance 300 400 27,000 Resistors 10% tolerance 200 500 30,000 How many days should the manufacturer operate each facility in order to minimise its costs and still produce sufficient resistors to meet its orders? a. Formulate the problem as a linear programming model (hint: let X1 represent the number of days that Facility 1 should operate and X2 represent the number of days that Facility 2 should operate). b. Solve the problem using graphical linear programming (corner point) techniques. Question 2 Solve question 1 above using Excel.

- QUESTION 1 (a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.arrow_forwardTrue/False question 1.
