- You currently own a portfolio of eight stocks. Using the Markowitz model, you computed the optimal mean/variance portfolio. Theweights of these two portfolios are shown in the following table: Stock A B C D E F G HYour Portfolio 0.12 0.15 0.13 0.10 0.20 0.10 0.12 0.08M/V Portfolio 0.02 0.05 0.25 0.06 0.18 0.10 0.22 0.12 You would like to rebalance your portfolio in order to be closer to the M/V portfolio. To avoid excessively high transaction costs, you decide to rebalance only three stocks from your portfolio. Let xi denote the weight of stock i in your rebalanced portfolio. The objective is to minimize the quantity |x1-0.02|+|x2-0.05|+|x3-0.25|+...+|x8-0.12| which measures how closely the rebalanced portfolio matches the M/V portfolio.

- Exercise 13-4 (LO13-2) The production department of Celltronics International wants to explore the relationship between the number of employees who assemble a subassembly and the number produced. As an experiment, two employees were assigned to assemble the subassemblies. They produced 15 during a one-hour period. Then four employees assembled them. They produced 25 during a one-hour period.

- Exercise 1.14 (Static) THE BANK CUSTOMER WAITING TIME CASE A bank manager has developed a new system to reduce the time customers spend waiting to be served by tellers during peak business hours. Typical waiting times during peak business hours under the current system are roughly 9 to 10 minutes. The bank manager hopes that the new system will lower typical waiting times to less than 6 minutes and wishes to evaluate the new system. When the new system is operating consistently over time, the bank manager decides to select a sample of 100 customers that need teller service during peak business hours. Specifically, for each of 100 peak business hours, the first customer that starts waiting for teller service at or after a randomly selected time during the hour will be chosen. Consider the peak business hours from 2:00 p.m. to 2:59 p.m., from 3:00 p.m. to 3:59 p.m., from 4:00 p.m. to 4:59 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 5:59 p.m. on a particular day.
