Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The maximum interest rate which the bank needs to offer the loan is 3%

Explanation:

The maximum interest rate which the bank needs to offer the loan is computed as:

Maximum interest rate = Amount received in one year - Amount invested today / Amount invested today

where

Amount received in one year is $6,180

Amount invested today is $6,000

Putting the values above:

Maximum interest rate = ($6,180 - $6,000) / $6,000

= $180 / $6,000

= 3%

So, the maximum interest rate is 3% which is needed to offer by banks

The bank is working to develop an efficient work schedule for full-time and part-time tellers. The schedule must provide for eff

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

It is a practical, complex scheduling problem that can be easily modelled and solved as IP. Note that part time and full time employees are paid at different rates. So, it is important that the bank operates to provide required service level (indicated by the number of tellers per hour) while minimizing total cost due to staff salary.

We use x as full time and y as part time staff.

It would help if you construct a table as shown below to better analyze the problem before attempting to model it. Red shows work hrs of full time staff and green is for part timers. Just follow their work hour rules.

So, full timers have 3 options:

(i) start at 9 – work till 1pm, take 1 hr break, then work 2 – 5 pm

(ii) start at 10 – work till 2pm, take 1 hr break, then work 3 – 6 pm

(iii) start at 11 – work till 3pm, take 1 hr break, then work 4 – 7 pm

that’s all… bank closes at 7 pm.

However, part timers don’t have 1 hr break. They work straight 4 hrs and leave. See green cells above to understand their alternatives.

Now, decision variables should include this work hour information. Here goes their definition. You must clearly define decision variables in exam, otherwise, the model is meaningless.

X9 = number of full time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule (no need to specify more details; those are already undestood)

X10 = number of full time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

X11 = number of full time staff who start at 11 and follow the hour-related rule

Y9 = number of part time staff who start at 9 and follow the hour-related rule

Y10 = number of part time staff who start at 10 and follow the hour-related rule

…. This way you define up to Y15.

You must also specify that:

Xi, Yi >=0, integers.

Objective Function:

Minimize Z = 105*(x9 + x10 + x11) + 32* (y9 + y10 + … + y 15)

You will need one “covering” constraint for each working hour. Both full and part-timers can “cover” the duty of each hour. Look at the color-coded table (above) column-wise. The 9:00-10:00 hour can be covered only by x9 and y9 staff; next hour by x9, x10, y9, y10 only,… and so on. So, the

b. applying cash receipts to a different customer's account in an attempt to conceal previous thefts of cash receipts is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Lapping is best described as the process of applying cash receipts to a different customer's account in an attempt to conceal previous thefts of cash receipts.

Lapping is an illegal mode of allotting one consumer's cash to another consumer's account.

Lapping usually occurs in smaller businesses where a single person manages payment receipts and consumer billing.

Companies can stop and check lapping through conducting regular inspections of payment receipts and also by dividing cashier and billing tasks.
