Question
AMPL Optimization Problem:
To manage its excess cash over the next 12 months, a company may purchase 1-month, 2-month or 3-month certificates of deposit from any of several different banks. The current cash on hand and amounts invested are known, while the company must estimate the cash receipts and expenditures for each month, and the returns on the different certificates.The company’s problem is to determine the best investment strategy, subject to cash requirements. (As a practical matter, the company would use the first month of the optimal solution as a guide to its current purchases, and then re-solve with updated estimates at the beginning of the next month.)
Suppose that the company’s estimated receipts and expenses (in thousands of dollars) over the next 12 months are as follows:
