D & R A1 10 - 6 Question 10. Minimum Variance Commodity Hedge Choc Full of Good Inc., a producer of powdered hot chocolate, has just received a large order that will require the purchase of 800 metric tons of cocoa in 3 months. The current spot price of cocoa is US $3,055 per metric ton. The standard deviation of the change in spot cocoa price is 0.2. Mr. Dulce, the CFO of Choc Full, is considering a minimum-variance hedge of this future cocoa purchase using the three-month cocoa futures contract. The contract size is 10 metric tons. The standard deviation of the change in cocoa futures price is 0.25. The covariance between the change in the spot and futures cocoa price is 0.035. The annually compounded interest rate faced by the company is 5%, the three-month storage cost is $2.5 per metric ton, and the convenience yield is $0.5 per metric ton. What is the estimated effectiveness of this minimum variance hedge?
Question 1 B A company produces 2 (two) different grades of gasoline – regular and premium from 3(three) components (1,2,3). The company wants to determine the optimal mix of the three components in each grade of the gasoline that will maximize profit. The maximum quantities available for each component and their cost per gallon are as follows:Component Cost per gallon maximum gallons available per day 1 2.50 5,000 2 2.60 10,000 3 2.84 10,000 In order to ensure the appropriate blend, each grade has certain specifications as follows: Grade Component Specs Selling Price per gallon Regular At most 30% component 1 At least 40% component 2 At most 20% component 3 2.90 Premium At least 25% component 1 At most 45% component 2 At Least 30% component 3 3.00 The company wants to produce at least 10,000 gallons of each grade of gasoline. Formulate a LP model including the ratio constraints, production constraints and the objective function for this question.

dent question I am having trouble formulating the objective function and constraints. Jeremy Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder rods is $1800 and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder rods is $3200. Manufacturing costs are $16 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $20 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. The production capacities are 5800 and 7200 for 6 and 4 cylinder rods respectively. The operating budget is $100,000. The selling prices are $55 per 4-cylinder rod and $70 per 6-cylinder rod. What is the optimal number of 4 and 6 cylinder rods that should be produced by the company? Identify the type of integer programming framework (Total Integer, Mixed Integer or Binary) that applies to this problem, develop the appropriate formulation (decision variables, objective function and constraints)

Q1) A retail. Store stocks two types of shirts A and B. These are packed in attractive cardboard boxes. During a week the store can sell a maximum of 400 shirts of type A and a maximum of 300 shirts of type B. The storage capacity, however, is limited to a maximum of 600 of both types combined. Type A shirt fetches a profit of SR 2/- per unit and type B a profit of SR. 5/- per unit. (b) Find the optimal solution (How many of each type) that store should stock per week to maximize the total profit. Use Graphical Method.
D&R A3 1-1 Question 1. Plain Vanilla Interest Rate Swap Incredible Inc., a manufacturer of children’s toys, enters into a two-year plain vanilla interest rate swap, in which the corporation will receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate of LIBOR. The notional amount on this swap is $75 million. Swap payments will be netted every 180 days, and the LIBOR requires the assumption of a 360-day year. The term structure of LIBOR on the swap initiation date is as follows: Days Rate (%) 180 3.50 360 3.55 540 3.60 720 3.70 What is the fixed rate determined on the swap initiation date?
