[10 marks] A retired couple have up to $ 300,000 they wish to invest in fixed-income securities. ‘Their broker recommends investing in two bonds: one AAA bond yielding 12%; the other a B* bond paying 15%. After some consideration, the couple decide to invest at most $ 120,000 in the B* -rated bond and at least $ 60,000 in AAA bond. They also want the amount invested in the AAA bond to exceed or equal the amount invested in the B* bond. What should the broker recommend if the couple (quite naturally) want to maximise their annual return on investment? To get full marks, you must clearly state the meaning of any variables which you use, give the objective function and the constraints, sketch the feasible region, calculate the extreme points and find the amount invested in AAA bond and B* bond that should be invested to maximise their return on investment. feteetee Page 6 of 6
