Explanation of Solution
Formulation of a Linear
Let “x1” be the number of dollars invested in stocks.
The “x2” be the number of dollars invested in loans.
As every dollar invested in stocks gives 10 cents profits, so the total profit on stocks would be $0.1x1. Likewise, the total profit on loan would be $0.15x2.
Since the objective is to maximize total profit earned from Erica’s investment, the objective function is defined as follows:
Constraint 1:
At least, 30% of total invested money must be invested in stocks. The “x1+ x2” is the total money invested in the investment. Since the number of dollars invested in stocks must be at least 30% of the total investment, the constraint is defined as follows:
Constraint 2:
At least, $400 of all money must be invested in loans, so the constraint is defined as:
Constraint 3:
At most, $1000 is invested in stocks and loans, so the constraint is defined as:
Therefore, the formulation to the given linear program is:

- Suppose, you are working in a company ‘X’ where your job is to calculate the profit based on their investment. If the company invests 100,000 USD or less, their profit will be based on 75,000 USD as first 25,000 USD goes to set up the business in the first place. For the first 100,000 USD, the profit margin is low: 4.5%. Therefore, for every 100 dollar they spend, they get a profit of 4.5 dollar. For an investment greater than 100,000 USD, for the first 100,000 USD (actually on 75,000 USD as 25,000 is the setup cost), the profit margin is 4.5% where for the rest, it goes up to 8%. For example, if they invest 250,000 USD, they will get an 8% profit for the 150,000 USD. In addition, from the rest 100,000 USD, 25,000 is the setup cost and there will be a 4.5% profit on the rest 75,000. Investment will always be greater or equal to 25,000 and multiple of 100.

- Calculating losses in tranches To the right is a graphic representation of a CDO. Lets say there is a loss of 10% on the underlying assets, in our case subprime mortgages, how do you calculate losses in different tranches 1. Figure out the losses on underlying assets: in our case 10% 2. Allocate loss to original senior tranche: O Senior: 0.80 x 0.10 = 8% 3. Allocate losses to mezzanine tranche: O O 4. Break down the mezzanine tranche into CDO tranches: The senior CDO tranche: 0.65 x 7% = 4.55 O Assets O Senior Tranche (80%) AAA Ö Mezzanine Tranche (15%) BBB The mezzanine tranche has an allocation of 15%, however, since it is subordinate (waterfall payment system), it only absorbs losses after the senior tranche has absorbed its 80% share. Calculation: 15% - 8% = 7% 20 Equity Tranche (5%) Not Rated The mezzanine tranche: 0.25 x 7% = 1.75 The equity tranche: 7% - 4.55% -1.75% = 0.7% (or 0.1 x 7% = 0.7%) The mezzanine tranche is repackaged with other mezzanine tranches Senior Tranche…arrow_forwardThere are four possible ways to cross the river for a person. Let the first location is denoted by L1, second one is by L2, third one is by L3, and fourth one is by L4 arranged from north to south. A tiger can wait at one of the specified 4 locations. If the location chosen is same by both person and the tiger, then the payoff to the tiger is 1. If both person and tiger chosen adjacent locations the payoff to the tiger is 0.5. If both chosen location are distinct and non – adjacent then the payoffs were 0. In the present scenario, what is the value of the game to the tiger?arrow_forwardThe Livewright Medical Supplies Company has a total of 12 salespeople it wants to assign to three regions-the South, the East, and the Midwest. A salesperson in the South earns $600 in profit per month for the company, a salesperson in the East earns $540, and a salesperson in the Midwest earns $375. The southern region can have a maximum assignment of five sales- people. The company has a total of $750 per day available for expenses for all 12 salespeople. A salesperson in the South has average expenses of $80 per day, a salesperson in the East has average expenses of $70 per day, and a salesperson in the Midwest has average daily expenses of $50. The company wants to determine the number of salespeople to assign to each region to maximize profit. a. Formulate an integer programming model for this problem. b.

You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M.
