Question

DJS Investment Services must develop an investment portfolio for a new client. As an initial investment strategy, the new client would like to restrict the portfolio to a mix of two stocks:

The client wants to invest $40,000 and established the following two investment goals:

Priority Level 1 Goal

Goal 1: Obtain an annual return of at least 9%.

Priority Level 2 Goal

Goal 2: Limit the investment in Key Oil, the riskier investment, to no more than 60% of the total investment.

Formulate a goal programming model for the DJS Investment problem. If you don't need the variable in the model, enter "0". If you need a negative number, enter minus sign with it.

x2 = number of shares of Key Oil purchased

I already finished part of it, what about other blanks?

Estimated Annual Stock Price/Share Return (%) AGA Products $ 50 6 Key Oil 100 10

Explanation / Answer

Total Investment = 40,000

Total value of Shares Already Purchased:

AGA Products (X1) = 50 * 50 = 2,500

Key Oil (X2) = 100 * 100 = 10,000

P1 GOAL:

D1 = Addtional shares purchased of AGA Products = 150 shares

D2 = Addtional shares purchased of Key Oil = 200 shares

Total investment in

AGA Products = (X1+D1) * Price = (50+150) * 50 = $10,000

Key Oil = (X2+D2)*Price = (100+200) *100 = $30,000

This investment structure will produce total return of 9 % for DJS invesrment services. To show,

AGA Products = $10,000 * Est annual return (6%) = $600

Key Oil = $30,000 = Est Annual return (10%) = $3000

Total Return = (3,600 / 40,000) * 100 = 9% total return

P2 GOAL: To limit Key Oil investment to maximum 60%

Investment in Key Oil to be reduced the Shares to 240 i.e ( X2(100)+D2 (200)- 60) . Value = 240 *100 = $24,000

Investment in AGA Products to be increased to 320 i.e ( X1(50)+D1(150)+120). Value = 320*50 = $16,000

Total Value = $40,000

Investment in Key Oil = (24,000/40,000) * 100 = 60%

Hope this elaborated answer helps.
