What's your next question?
Linear programming models are used by many Wall Street firms to select a desirable bond portfolio. The following is a simplified version of such a model. Solodrex is considering investing in four bonds; $1,000,000 is available for investment. The expected annual return, the worst-case annual return on each bond and the "duration" of each bond are given in Table 1(attached below in the photo). The duration of a bond is a measure of the bond's sensitivity to interest rates. Solodrex wants to maximize the expected return from its bond investments, subject to three constraints.
Constraint 1: The worst-case return of the bond portfolio must be at least 8%.
Constraint 2: Given in photo I've attached.
Constraint 3: Because of diversification requirements, at most 40% of the total amount invested can be invested in a single bond. Formulate an LP (do not solve) that will enable Solodrex to maximize the expected return on its investment. You can set it up in Excel but do not solve.
