Reduce the payoff matrix by dominance.
If a salesperson has gross sales of over $600,000 in a year, then he or she is eligible to play the company's bonus game: A black box contains 3 one-dollar bills, 1 five-dollar bill and 1 twenty-dollar bill. Bills are drawn out of the box one at a time without replacement until a
twenty-dollar bill is drawn. Then the game stops. The salesperson's bonus is 1,000 times the value of the bills drawn. Complete parts (A) through (C) below.
(A) What is the probability of winning a $23,000 bonus?
(Type a decimal or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)

- An investment manager has a dilemma of how to invest K10 000 000. He could either invest in stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CD) or a mixture of the three.

- You have $10,000 to invest, and three different funds from which to choose. The municipal bond fund has a 7% return, the local bank's CDs have an 8% return, and the high‐risk account has an expected (hoped‐for) 12% return. To minimize risk, you decide not to invest any more than $2,000 in the high‐risk account. For tax reasons, you need to invest at least three times as much in the municipal bonds as in the bank CDs. Assuming the year‐end yields are as expected, what are the optimal investment amounts? a. Choose the unknowns, i.e. variables. State what they are so you know exactly what you are looking for.b.
