A computer company plans to sell two versions of a laptop (Laptop 1 and Laptop 2)
at a price of $295.00 and $450.00 with a cost (COGS) of $250.00 and $400.00.
Max Monthly Demand for Laptop 1 is 200 units.
Min Monthly Demand for Laptop 2 is 100 units.
Total COGS should not exceed ₱70,000.00.
What number of units produced and sold will maximize Contribution Margin?
(Contribution Margin = CM = Amount that can cover all none assigned costs and profit).

The maximum available funds for a portfolio of investments are $250,000.
The three investment categories for this portfolio are: Tech Sector, Retail Sector and Corporate Bonds Index Fund.
The individual investments being considered are MSFT, AAPL, TGT, AMZN, E*Trade Corp Bond Fund.
The expected returns on the investments are as follows: MSFT = 6.50%, AAPL = 11.50%, TGT = 5.90%, AMZN = 8.50%, E*Tr
The maximum amount to invest in the Tech Sector is $125,000.
The minimum amount to invest in the Retail Sector is $75,000.
The minimum amount to invest in the the individual stock TGT is $15,000.
The minimum amount to invest in Corporate Bonds Index Fund is 20% of the amount invested in the Tech Sector.
What is the amount should be invested in each investment so that profits are maximized?

Goal:
Maximize: Returns for Portfolio
