Chapter 4.3, Problem 21E
MAXIMIZING INVESTMENT RETURNS Natsano has at most $50,000 to invest in the common stocks of two companies. He estimates that an investment in Company A will yield a return of 10%, whereas an investment in Company B, which he feels is a riskier investment, will yield a return of 20%. If he decides that his investment in the stock of Company A is to exceed his investment in the stock of Company B by at least $20,000, determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company to maximize the return on his investment. What is the maxi-mum return?

- In Example 3, if the accountant earns a profit of 100 on each individual return and a profit of 175 on each business return, find the maximum profit. An accountant prepares tax returns for individuals and for small businesses. On average, each individual return requires 3 hours of her time and 1 hour of computer time. Each business return requires 4 hours of her time and 2 hours of computer time. Because of other business considerations, her time is limited to 240 hours, and the computer time is limited to 100 hours. If she earns a profit of 80 on each individual return and a profit of 150 on each business return, how many returns of each type should she prepare to maximize her profit?arrow_forwardProduction A small country exports soybeans and flowers. Soybeans require 8 workers per acre, flowers require 12 workers per acre, and 100, 000 workers are available. Government contracts require that there be at least 3 times as many acres of soybeans as flowers planted. It costs 250 per acre to plant soybeans and 300 per acre to plant flowers, and there is a budget of 3 million. If the profit from soybeans is 1600 per acre and the profit from flowers is 2000 per acre, how many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize profit? Find the maximum profit.arrow_forward
