A corporation plans on building a maximum of 11 new stores in a large city. They will build these stores in one of three sizes for each location - a convenience store (open 24 hours), standard store, and an expanded services store. The convenience store requires $4.125 million to build and 30 employees to operate. The standard store requires $8.25 million to build and 15 employees to operate. The expanded-services store requires $12.375 million to build and 45 employees to operate. The corporation can dedicate $82.5 million in construction capital, and 300 employees to staff the stores. On the average, the convenience store nets $1.2 million annually, the standard store nets $2 million annually, and the expanded services store nets $2.6 million annually. How many of each should they build to maximize revenue?

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?
