Assume that x2, x7 and x8 are the dollars invested in three different common stocks from New York Stock Exchange. In order to diversify the investments, the investing company requires that no more than 60% of the dollars invested can be in "stock 2". The constraint for this requirement can be written as:

.4x2 - .6x7 - .6x8 ≤ 0

In a portfolio problem, X1, X2, and X3 represent the number of shares purchased of stocks 1, 2, and 3, which have selling prices of $15, $47.25, and $110, respectively. The investor has up to $50,000 to invest.An appropriate part of the model would be

Captain Stubing of The Pacific Princess seeks to maximize the return for their scheduled 14 day tour of Europe and has a number of options available to him. He can ply his guests with alcohol, upsell them on fancier restaurant fare or include more expensive excursion options. These alternatives are not without tradeoffs, since different guests prefer different options, depending largely on their age and wherewithal. ;... It costs $1,500 to stock supplies for a major cuisine category, it costs $5,000 to include each different excursion, and it costs $900 to set up with a different bar theme. Based on historical data, Captain Stubing believes that each new bar setup will generate $1,500 profit, each new cuisine type will bring in $5,000, and each excursion type will generate $17,000 for the ship. What is the appropriate constraint for the budget

Spring is right around the corner and that can mean only one thing: it's time to incubate some eggs for a fresh crop of chickens to supplement the existing flock for the year. There are three breeds that are popular: Leghorns, Buff Orpingtons, and Cochins, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The Leghorns, for example, are superb layers but easily excitable. The Cochins, on the other hand, are very even-tempered but not the best layers. They do have marvelous plumage, with feathers that extend down to their feet. ... Temperament is actually measured by the average volume of cackling, clucking, and crowing and is measured in decibels per bird. Appetite is measured in ounces of layer pellets per week consumed by each of the breeds, while fertilizer is measured as the output in ounces per week. Which of the following is an appropriate objective function?

Max Z = 5L + 2C + 4.5B
