As part of the settlement for a class action lawsuit, Hoxworth Corporation must provide sufficient cash to make the following annual payments (in thousands of dollars): Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 Payment 180 220 245 300 320 480 The annual payments must be made at the beginning of each year. The judge will approve an amount that, along with earnings on its investment, will cover the annual payments. Investment of the funds will be limited to savings (at 3.75% annually) and government securities, at prices and rates currently quoted in The Wall Street Journal.

Security Current Price Rate (%) Years to Maturity 1 $1065 6.25 3 2 $1000 5.225 4 Assume that interest is paid annually. The plan will be submitted to the judge and, if approved, Hoxworth will be required to pay a trustee the amount that will be required to fund the plan. Use linear programming to find the minimum cash settlement necessary to fund the annual payments.
