Let
x = number of shares of Oil Alaska
y = number of shares of Southwest Petroleum
a. Develop the objective function, assuming that the client desires to maximize the total annual return.
b. Show the mathematical expression for each of the following three 
constraints:
(1) Total investment funds available are $800,000.
(2) Maximum Oil Alaska investment is $500,000.
(3) Maximum Southwest Petroleum investment is $450,000.
Note: Adding the x = 0 and y = 0 constraints provides a linear programming model for the investment problem. A solution procedure for this model will be discussed in Chapter7.
