Determine the percentage that should be allocated to each


George Johnson recently inherited a large sum of money; he wants to use a portion of this money to set up a trust fund for his two children. The trust fund has two investment options: (1) a bond fund and (2) a stock fund. The projected returns over the life of the investments are 8% for the bond fund and 20% for the stock fund. Whatever portion of the inheritance George finally decides to commit to the trust fund, he wants to invest at least 40% of that amount in the bond fund. In addition, he wants to select a mix that will enable him to obtain a total return of at least 5.5%. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the percentage that should be allocated to each of the possible investment alternatives. Find the optimal solution.
