A private investment club has $3,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk, medium risk, and low risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a rate of return of 17%/year; medium-risk stocks, 7%/year; and low-risk stocks,6%/year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be a quarter of the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Assuming that all the money available for investment is invested, how much should the club invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $413/year on the total investment? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Stephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000. However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum. She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest income. Dividends will be tax-free. Stephanie’s research has allowed her to narrow down on the following investment candidates: Stocks: 1.…
