An investment manager is considering stocks X1, X2, and X3 for investment. Market research shows the following information (per stock) X1 X2 X3 cost $100 risk measure 8 price annual growth rate: 9% annual return: $14 cost $120 risk measure 10 price annual growth rate: 13% annual return: $15 cost $80 risk measure 7 price annual growth rate: 8% annual return: $20 Based on his experience, the manager has set the following priorities for the investment: (1) The total amount invested should be at least $90,000. (d1) (2) The minimum annual average growth rate in stock prices is 12%. (d2) (3) The risk factor of all stocks should not exceed a total of 5,000. (d3) (4) The total annual return should be $15,000. (d4) The constraint for the annual growth rate can be written as:     9X1 + 13X2 + 8X3 ≥ 12     [(9X1 + 13X2 + 8 X3)/(X1+ X2+ X3)] + d2- - d2+ ≥ 12     [(9X1 + 13X2 + 8X3)/(X1+ X2+ X3)] + d2- - d2+ ≤ 0     -3X1+ X2 - 4X3 + d2- - d2+ ≥ 12     -3X1 +…
Long-Life Insurance developed a linear model to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have, based on the head of the household's current age. The equation is:   y = 163  -0.45xwherey = Insurance needed ($000)x = Current age of head of household Calculate the amount of term life insurance you would recommend for a family of four if the head of the household is 53 years old. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Select the least accurate statement regarding RISKSIMTABLE. RISKSIMTABLE is a feature that is included in Excel. RISKSIMTABLE is helpful for automating the process of running multiple simulations with different input values. One difference between the RISKSIMTABLE functionality and the data table functionality is that it runs a simulation for each input value and data table does not. O When multiple simulation runs are specified, the RISKSIMTABLE function is used to control in the value of a particular input cell that is used for each simulation. O The RISKSIMTABLE function is inserted into a cell with an input value and points to a range of values that the input value will take on.
