Solution

let the amt invested in treasury bills be $x ,

interest = x*0.04 = 0.04x

treasury bonds be $y

interest = y*0.08 = 0.08y

and corporate bonds be $z

interest = z*0.12 = 0.12z

further: z = x/2

So interest on corporate bonds = 0.12*x/2) = 0.06

Total annual income required = $2280

0.04x +0.08y +0.06x = 2280

0.1x +0.08y = 2280 ----(1)

x +y +z = $30000

x +y +x/2 = 30000

3x/2 +y = 30000 -----(2)

x = $6000 ; y= $21000

z= = $3000
