Answer:

The optimal amount that should be invested in each type of investment is:

Project A (43%) = $107,500

Project B (57%) = $142,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total investible funds = $250,000

Types of investment vehicles =         Type A                  Type B

Annual returns from each vehicle         6%                         8%

Ratio of annual returns =                       43%(6/14)           57% (8/14)

Therefore, allocation to each type:

Type A =  $107,500 ($250,000 * 43%)  

Type B = $142,500 ($250,000 * 57%)
