(b) (4 points) If you are going to use X=150 minutes during a month, which option is preferred? Provide computations to support your answer. (c) (4 points) Complete the following statement: Option (ii) would be the cheaper option if the number of minutes you are going to use is less than __________. Provide computations to support your answer.
5. An investor wants to purchase “units” of stocks and bonds, where each unit is measured in thousands of dollars (that is, one unit of stocks is worth $1000). She wishes to purchase X units of stocks, and Y units of bonds according to the follow criteria: 1. To avoid excessive risk, she wants the number of units of bonds to be at least 3 times the number of units of stocks; 2. She wants to purchase at most 6 units of bonds; and 3. She wants the total number of units purchased to be no more than 8. (a) (6 points) Determine a system of inequalities appropriate for the restrictions on X and Y as given above.
