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?
