G. Rifkin is considering investing some or all of a $60,000 inheritance. He looks at a one year cirtificate of deposit paying 6%

, and/or a venture capital group project with a guaranteed 3% return but the potential of earning 10%. Mr. Rifkin woul like to invest the minimum amount of money neccessary to achieve the following
(i) An over all portfolio potential return of at least $4000. Note: The CD's guarantteed return is also its potential.
(ii) An over all portfolio guaranteed return of $2000.
a. Formulate a LP model and recommend an investment strategy (how much to invest in each investment).
b. How much can Rifkin keep for personal use?
Problem 1-1: Rifkin has decided to invest all his inheritance. Therefore, in addition to the two invetments mentioned above, he now looks also at an oil exploration investment. The return could be potentially 100% but he might also lose all his money. Therefore he set up risk protection conditions as follows:
(i) At most $30K will be nvested in oil.
(ii) At least $20K will be invested in CD.
(iii) The portfolio value must have a guarantteed value of at least $40K at the end of the year.
How can Rifkin maximize the potential return of his portfolio?

Answer:

The answer is developed below.

Explanation:

1)a) Let A be investment in CD and B be investment in VC

LP Conditions:

A * 6% + B* 3% >=2000

A * 6% + B* 10% >=4000

A+B<=60000

Minimize(A+B)

Result of solving LP:

A= 19047.62

B= 28571.43

Total investment= 47619.05

b) Total money left for personal use = 12380.95

2) Let A be investment in CD and B be investment in VC and C be investment in Oil Exploration

LP Conditions:

60000 - (A*6% + B*3% - C)>=40000

C<=30000

A>=20000

A+B+C=60000

Maximize(A*6%+B*10%+C*100%)

Solving we get:

A=20000

B=18252.43

C=21747.57

When making scrap or rework decisions, management should consider: (Check all that apply.)a. Revenue from selling defective unit
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The correct answer is all of the above

Explanation:

Scrap or the rework costs are the costs which is incurred in order to repair the   items that are defective. And the decision to rework or scrap an item or product, ground on the benefits or advantage of the incremental costs.

If the reworked units generate or yield greater advantage or benefit rather than the selling them as scrap, then the decision to rework will be considered.

And if the decision of rework is taken, then the management should consider the incremental costs, revenue or profit from selling the defective units as scarp and the lost profit on selling and making the new units while the rework is performed.

Company C&amp;A sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at $100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier
Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 300

Explanation:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand = 600 bottles × 50 weeks = 30,000 bottles

Carrying cost per bottle = $50 × 40% = $20

And, the ordering cost per order is $30

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{30,000}\times \text{\$30}}{\text{\$20}}}

= 300 bottles

Hence, option A is correct
