## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_1 \) be the amount of money invested in Entrepreneur 1.
- Let \( x_2 \) be the amount of money invested in Entrepreneur 2.
- Let \( x_3 \) be the amount of money invested in Entrepreneur 3.

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total expected return:
\[ \text{Maximize } Z = 0.12x_1 + 0.18x_2 + 0.22x_3 \]

Data Source Verification:
- Coefficients 0.12, 0.18, and 0.22 are from `Expected_Return_Coefficients.expected_return_rate`.

#### Constraints
1. Total budget constraint:
   \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 \leq 60000 \]

2. Individual investment constraints:
   \[ x_1 \leq 20000 \]
   \[ x_2 \leq 25000 \]
   \[ x_3 \leq 30000 \]

3. Non-negativity constraints:
   \[ x_1 \geq 0 \]
   \[ x_2 \geq 0 \]
   \[ x_3 \geq 0 \]

Data Source Verification:
- The total budget of 60000 is derived from the sum of the realistic data for `Investments.amount`.
- Constraints \( x_1 \leq 20000 \), \( x_2 \leq 25000 \), and \( x_3 \leq 30000 \) are from `Entrepreneur.Money_Requested`.
