Let's denote the two numbers as x and y . We need to find the maximum product of x^2 \times y^3 subject to the constraint that x + y = 30 . We can rewrite the constraint as y = 30 - x .

Now, we can express the product x^2 \times y^3 in terms of one variable:
P = x^2 \times (30 - x)^3

To find the maximum product, we can differentiate P with respect to x and set the derivative equal to 0:
\frac{dP}{dx} = 2x \times (30 - x)^3 - 3x^2 \times 3 \times (30 - x)^2 = 0
Simplify:
2x \times (30 - x)^3 - 9x^2 \times (30 - x)^2 = 0

Solving the above equation will give us the value of x , and then we can find the corresponding value of y using y = 30 - x .

Finally, we can calculate the maximum product:
\text{Product} = x^2 \times y^3

\textbf{Answer:} The two non-negative numbers that make the maximum product are x = 10 and y = 20 . The maximum product is 10^2 \times 20^3 = 8,000,000 .

A mutual fund manager has a $350 million portfolio with a beta of 1.10. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio’s risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio’s required return will be 9.20%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio’s beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?
