Answer:

optimal solution is 0.6B + 0.4S

highest possible yield = 13.4%

Explanation:

we have to maximize 0.09B + 0.2S

where:

B = amount invested in bonds

S = amount invested in stocks

constraints:

B ≥ 0.6

B + S = 1

S ≥ 0

0.09B + 0.2S ≥ 0.085

using solver, the optimal solution is 0.6B + 0.4S

the portfolio's yield = (0.6 x 0.09) + (0.4 x 0.2) = 5.4% + 8% = 13.4%

Elza [17]

Answer:

-$11

Explanation:

Covered Call involves Buy stocks and Sell call options

Earning $2.89 by selling call. So, at  stock price of $27, the payoff from options is $2.89 per option

Options Profits = $2.89 * 100

Options Profits = $289

Profit of stock = ($27 - $30) * 100

Profit of stock = -$300

Investor Net Profit = Profit of stock + Options Profits

Investor Net Profit = -$300 + $289

Investor Net Profit = -$11
