Problem 33

Suppose that you inherit \(\$ 10,000 .\) The will states how you must invest the money. Some (or all) of the money must be invested in stocks and bonds. The requirements are that at least \(\$ 3000\) be invested in bonds, with expected returns of \(\$ 0.08\) per dollar, and at least \(\$ 2000\) be invested in stocks, with expected returns of \(\$ 0.12\) per dollar.
