For Exercises, identify the objective function and constraints of the linear programming problem. Then solve the problem and interpret the real-world meaning of the results.

Investment Choices An investor wants to invest at least $5000 in the Global Equities and Equity Index accounts shown in Exercise 23. She assumes that she will be able t( get a return equal to the 10-year average, and sir wants the total return on her investment to be at least 10 percent. She assigns each share in the Global Equities account a risk rating of 6 and each share in the Equity index account a risk rating of 5. The approximate share price at the e: of June 2004 was $70 per share for the Global Equities account and $72 per share for the Equity Index account. She will use these prices in her analysis. How many shares of each account should she buy in order to minimize her overall risk? [Note that fractions of shares may be purchased. Also, to make computations easier, round each percentage to the nearest whole-number percent (i.e., for 11.34 percent, use 11 percent).
