B&R is a brokerage firm that specializes in investment portfolios designed to meet the specific risk tolerances of its clients. A client who contacted B&R has a maximum of $150,000 to invest. B&R recommends two investment funds: an Internet fund and a Blue Chip fund. The Internet fund has a projected annual return of 20 percent, and the Blue Chip fund has a projected annual return of 8 percent. At most $50,000 of the client's funds should be invested in the Internet fund. The Internet fund is more risky and has a risk rating of 6 per $1000 invested. The Blue Chip fund has a risk rating of 3 per $1000 invested. For example, if $10,000 is invested in each of the two investment funds, B&R's risk rating for the portfolio would be 6(10)+3(10)=90.
