Question

Jane Doe wishes to invest her inheritance of $100,000 so that her return on investment is maximized, but she also wishes to keep her risk level relatively low. She has decided to invest her money in any of three possible ways - CDs, which pay a guaranteed 8 percent;stocks, which have an expected return of 12 percent; and a money market fund, which is expected to return 10 percent. She has decided that any or all of the $100,000 may be invested, but any part (or all) of it may be put in any of the 3 alternatives. Thus, she may have some money invested in all three alternatives. In formulating this as a LP problem,define the variables as follows: C = dollars invested in CDs S = dollars invested in stocks M = dollars invested in the money market mutual fund
