Abstract: This paper develops decision rules for combining divisible assets with lumpy-fixed assets which generate stochastic services. The decision rules differ depending on the decision maker's risk aversion. The theoretical results are illustrated with a practical problem which alternatively assumes the decision maker is a profit maximizer under certainty, an expected profit maximizer, or an expected utility maximizer.
