1. III. k+t
a) None
b) I only
c) II only
d) III only
e) I,II and III
Solution:
First, you must find out whether k
and t are odd or even. This problem
is all about the results of performing
operations on even and odd
numbers.
Given that k^2 - t^2 is an odd
number, then you know that k^2 is
even, and t^2 is odd. Of course, it
could be reverse, but it shouldn't
matter because of commutative and
associative laws.
So, you then know that k must be
even, and t must be odd. Even *
Even = Even, and Odd * Odd = Odd.
Now, just go through the statements:
1: Even + Odd + Even = Odd
2: Even*Even + Even*Even*Odd +
Odd*Odd = Even + Even + Odd =
Odd
3: Even + Odd = Odd
Answer then is None (A).
2. A contractor combined x tons of a
gravel mixture than contained 10%
gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a
mixture that contained 2% gravel G,
by weight, to produce z tons of a
mixture that was 5% gravel G, by
weight. What is the value of x?
(1) Y=10
(2) Z=16
Solution:
3. Mixture 1 : 10% gravel and quantity
: x tonnes
Therefore amount of gravel : 0.1x
Mixture 2 : 2% gravel and y tonnes
Amount of gravel : 0.02y
They are mixed to produce a mixture
of z tonnes that is 5% gravel
Hence, 0.1x+0.02y=0.05z
We need x.
Statement 1
y=10
Now x+y=zx+10=z

Contrary to popular belief, credit
cards are a form of money even
though people often refer to
them as "plastic money. " Credit card
users are actually taking out a loan
and sooner or later, they will have to
pay the bill for all those things they
have charged. They are buying
something now and agreeing to pay
for it at a later date with money,
usually a check.
Many banks issue credit cards, even
to people who aren't regular
customers. Before issuing you a
credit card, a bank will require you to
complete an application form and will
examine your credit record to see if
you have a history of paying back
your debts on time. Many people run
up credit card bills that are too big to
pay off every month. When thathappens customers must pay a
monthly finance charge that can run
anywhere from 10 percent to 24
percent a year. In addition, many
banks and other companies that
issue credit cards charge their
cardholders an annual fee usually
$20 to $50 a year. Even customers
who pay off their entire credit card bill
every month still have to pay theannual fee. Banks and credit card
7/27/2019 SCR Banking MAths 2.docx
4/36
companies also charge merchants a
fee for making the credit card service
available. Finance charges, annual
fees, and merchant fees have
become an important source of profit
for banks.
Finally there's another plastic card
that resembles a credit card in
appearance but is actually very
different in functionthe debit card.
A debit card is much more like an
ATM card than a credit card. When
someone uses a debit card at the
gas pump or at a store, the amount
of the purchase is electronically
deducted from the user's bank
balance. There's no monthly bill
because the amount of cash
purchase is deducted almost
immediately from the users account.
What Happens to
Your Money After
You Deposit it in
Your Bank
Account?
The bank begins by adding the
amount you're depositing to the
amount that's already in your
account (your existing balance).
Your deposit and new balance are
entered into your "passbook" and into
the bank's computer system. The
money you deposited is mixed in with
all the other cash the bank received
that day.

When you and other customers
deposit money in a bank, the bank
puts most of it to work. Part of the
money is set aside and held inreserve, but much of the rest is
loaned to people who need to borrow
money in order to buy houses and
cars, start or expand businesses, buy
farm equipment or to plant crops, or
do any of the other things that require
people to borrow money.
Interest - Compounding
When you keep your savings in a
bank, the bank pays you extra
money, which is called interest. The
interest is added to your account on
a regular basisusually once a
month or once every three months
(quarterly). Compounded interestmeans that interest is added to your
balance (usually quarterly), then the
next quarter the interest is computed
on your money deposited plus the
last quarter interest.
Example: New Balance = $500. 00
Interest rate = 5% Annual = $25. 00
New Balance = $500. 00Interest rate = 5% Compounded
quarterly = $25. 72
You would earn $. 72 more with the
interest compounded quarterly and
the annual yield rate would be 5.
14%. Banks must disclose to you if
the savings account is compounded
and how often it is compounded andgive you the annual yield rate as a
7/27/2019 SCR Banking MAths 2.docx
6/36
result of the compounding. Some
banks may compound interest as
often as daily. The shorter the
compound period, the higher the
yield rate would be.
There is another side to interest.
When someone borrows money from
a bank, the bank charges them
interest and it charges borrowers a
higher rate than it pays savers. For
example, it might pay savers 5% and
charge borrowers 8% on up to as
high as 25% imposed on some bank
credit cards.
A bank is a business and like other
businesses, banks sometimes fail.
But why should banks go out of
business? Sometimes banks fail
because the people who run them
make poor business decisions such
as expanding too quickly, pushing
too much money into one type of
loan, or using bad judgment makingloans. Sometimes banks fail
because of fraud. Maybe the
president makes questionable loans
to friends or hires unqualified people
and pay them huge salaries.
Things like that happen The bank

You authorize the transfer by signing

are so popular is that people can use
a cancelled check to prove they paid
a bill. In most cases a cancelled
check is as good as a receipt
because it bears the endorsements
of all the persons, banks, companies,
or other organizations that have
handled it. For example if thelandlord claims you didn't pay your

money in the bank for a fixed periodof time (example: $1,000 for two

your money earns is higher if you
agree to keep your money on deposit

because banks can plan on using
your money for a longer period oftime.) Banks do not offer check-
writing privileges on certificates of
deposit.

to people who didn't make enough
money to be welcome at traditional
banks.
Credit unions began as a 19th-
century solution to the emergency
needs of people who were unable to
borrow money from traditional
lenders. Before the opening of credit
unions, ordinary citizens had no
place to turn when they faced
unexpected home repairs, medicalexpenses, or other emergencies.
Credit unions were started by people
who shared a common bond such as
working at the same factory,
belonging to the same house of
worship, or farming in the same
community. Members pooled their
savings and used the money to make
small loans to one another.

How did Banking
Begin?No one knows who started the
world's first bank, but it's safe to saythat banking has it roots in the early
trading civilizations of the
Mediterranean ocean. Without trade
there would have been little need to
establish banks. Without banks there
would have been less money to
finance trading ventures.
Imagine for a moment that you are amerchant in ancient Greece or
Phoenicia. You make your living by
selling to distant ports with boatloads
of olive oil and spices. You don't
grow the olive oil and spices yourself;
you buy them from growers or other
merchants. If all goes well, you will
be paid for your cargo when you
reach your destination, but before
you can sail, you must have moneyto outfit your ship.
You find it by seeking out people who
have money sitting idle. They agree
to put up the money for your cargo
and supplies in exchange for a share
of your profits when you return from
your voyage. . if you return. The
people with the idle money areamong the world's first lenders and
you are among the world's first
borrowers. You complain that they're
demanding too large a share of your
profits. They reply that your voyage
is perilous and they run a risk of
losing their entire investment.
Lenders and borrowers have carried
on this debate ever since.
7/27/2019 SCR Banking MAths 2.docx

Today, most people who want to
borrow money go to banks rather
than to wealthy individuals. But the
basic concepts of borrowing and
lending haven't really changed.
People don't let you have theirmoney for nothing. It's risky to lend
money. There's no guarantee that a
lender will get the money back, even
if the borrower is an old friend. So
why lend money? Why take the risk?
Because lending presents an
opportunity to make even more
money. People will often take a
financial risk if they believe there is a
good chance of making more money.
If a bank lends $50,000 to a
borrower, the bank isn't satisfied to
just get its $50,000 back. In order to
make a profit, the bank charges
interest on the loan. Interest is the
price borrowers pay for using
someone else's money. If a loan
seems risky, the lender will chargemore interest to offset the risk. (If
you take a bigger risk, you want a
bigger return). Of course, the
opportunity to earn lots of interest
won't mean much if a borrower fails
to repay a loan. That's why banks
often refuse to make loans that seem
too risky.
Banks also use interest to attract
savers. After all, people who have
extra money don't have to put it in the
bank. They have lots of choices. But
in addition to all of the different types
of accounts banks offer depositors,
the added advantage is being able to
get to their money quickly.

How is a Bank
Started?The process varies from state to
state, but here's a simple version of
what it takes to start a bank.
1. Individuals get together anddecide to start a bank.
2. They file an application with the
federal and state bankingauthorities. In Indiana, it's theIndiana Department of FinancialInstitutions.
3. People at the state bankingauthority review the application.They look closely at the financialcondition and the character of theapplicants.

the federal and state banking
authorities will either approve
or deny it.

The raw material has to be cut to size. This is done with a variety of tools.
The most common way to cut material is by Shearing (metalworking);
Special band saws designed for cutting metal have hardened blades and a feed
mechanism for even cutting. Abrasive cut-off saws, also known as chop saws, are similar to

with large piles of inventory. Gear cutting operation was suspected to be the bottleneck. The
project team further interviewed the operators of the downstream operation, lapping, and
confirmed that lapping was constantly starving for competed ring set from the cutting operation.
Accordingly, cutting operation was determined to be the bottleneck and was chosen as the target
for improvement. Incorporating TOC concept into improvement process enabled the project team
to select a project that could increase the plant throughput and bottom-line performance.
(take in Figure 2)
Value analysis was first performed to determine the various activities in the cutter operation
that add both customer and operational value to the process (Table 1). The purpose of value
analysis is to streamline the value chain to reduce all non-value added waste in the system and to
look for ways to enhance high value-added activities. The machine cycle that includes the cutting
operation is both a customer and operational value-added activity. Improving the yield of a high-value added activity such as blade cutting would increase the overall capacity of the plant.
Increasing the gear cutting capacity would have a positive impact on manufacturing system
throughput. This could be achieved through a reduction of hours required per gear set, which would
in turn increase the capacity and remove the need for new capacity investments.
(take in Table 1)
After confirming gear cutters as the bottleneck, the project team initially discussed purchasing
additional cutting capacity. The company was using a solvent-cutting device, where the cutting headwas lubricated to increase the shelf life of the cutting blades. Newer technology in this process had
advanced to dry cutting, a significant increase in the life of the blade, thereby increasing the
capacity. However, with the capital constraints facing the plant, it was not feasible to upgrade to the
dry cutting process. As suggested by the TOC concept, the team decided to exploit or maximize
the utilization of the current technology rather than make new capital investment in additional
cutting capacity. In other words, the team would proceed to investigate the current performance of
the solvent-based cutting machines and identifying ways to increase quality and throughput without
additional capital expenditures.
The business case for this project was initiated because of the eroding sales revenue, which
went down by 23% in 2000, while fixed expenses went up by as much as 22% within the same year.
Management was faced with either shutting down the plant or eliminating the non-value added
processes to increase capacity without incurring new capital expenditures. The Axle facility had
some experience in successfully applying Six Sigma to its process improvement. After receiving
training on TOC, managers decided to combine TOC and Six Sigma to guide their improvement
effort. They felt that the concept of TOC could provide them with a focus on global system
improvement. With careful study and planning, an eight-member project team was formed. The
project team was composed of the plant manager, the controller, two six-sigma certified employees,
and four operators from the plant. One of the authors of this paper and a student team served as
7/27/2019 SCR Banking MAths 2.docx
29/36
external resources for the project. The team was charged with the responsibility of seeking process
improvement that would result in a minimum of $175,000 savings per year. This was the minimum
standard established by the plant for any major process improvement project. The team started by
reviewing the process map to determine possible bottlenecks in the process. Extensive interviews
were conducted, and an in-depth observation of the processes was undertaken to identify probable
causes of inefficiencies in the system. After the extensive investigation, the cutting process was
singled out as the likely bottleneck operation. The proposed integrated framework was adopted to
make the improvement. The various stages of the process implementation are discussed below.
Phase 1 of this integrated framework is identical to both strategies, and its purpose is to
identify current constraint(s) that block the improvement of global performance, such as meeting
customer needs or improving system throughput. Accordingly, a specific process is selected for
improvement. Phases 2 and 3 follow the spirit of TOC by exploring the capacity of the selected
process. Phase 2 measures the current performance of the process and identifies the root causes
needed to be corrected for improvement. The two phases of Six Sigma, measure and analyze, are
involved in this step. Once the root causes are confirmed, Phase 3 of the integrated approach
applies conventional Six Sigma strategy by using the key manufacturing, engineering, and statistical
techniques to remove root causes of the problem for making necessary process improvement. The
purpose is to best utilize the current capacity of the process without incurring additional capital
expenditures.
Phase 4 ensures the changes made in previous steps are properly supported by the rest of the
system. For example, managers may need to change policies and obtain buy-in from employees to
implement the changes. Training is often required for a revised process. Phases 5 and 6 are taken
from the TOC process. If the improvement of the selected process is insufficient to satisfy customer
needs or goals, managers have to consider various options (e.g., outsourcing and additional
investment) to raise the capacity of the process. Finally, managers must stay alert to the dynamic
nature of the manufacturing system and constantly monitor occurrence of new constraints.
Overall, when the integrated framework is applied to improve a specific process, these two
techniques seem to complement each other. The integration is made by combining the
management aspect of TOC and the engineering aspect of Six Sigma. Specifically, for firms thatapply Six Sigma, TOC provides a global perspective in identifying the constraints and examining
necessary changes to the rest of the systems. On the other hand, Six Sigma brings in the
perspectives of customer needs, performance measures, and engineering and statistical tools during
the stages Theory of Constraints (TOC) was developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt during the 1980s
(McMullen, 1998). The core idea of TOC is that every organization has at least one constraint that
prevents management from achieving the goal of the organization to a larger degree. Constraints
can be physical resources or policies. TOC develops a set of procedures and methodologies to
identify and optimize such constraints. For the purpose of continuous improvement, TOC uses a
systematic approach which consists of five focusing steps (Goldratt and Cox, 1992).
1. Identify the systems constraint(s).

2. Decide how to exploit the systems constraint(s).
3. Subordinate everything else to the above decision.
4. Elevate the systems constraint(s).
5. If a constraint has been broken, go back to Step 1. Do not allow inertia to cause asystems constraint.
The implementation of Six Sigma strategy involves a series of steps specifically designed to
facilitate a process of continuous improvement. The strategy takes the key manufacturing,
engineering, and transactional processes of entire process through the five transformational phases
(Plotkin, 1999).
1. Define: Identify customer needs and a project suitable for Six-Sigma effort.
2. Measure: Determine what and how to measure the performance of the selected process.
3. Analyze: Understand and determine the variables that create quality variations.
4. Improve: Identify means to remove causes of defects and modify the process.
5. Control: Maintain the improvement.
The primary objective of the five-step process is to recognize critical customer requirements,
identify and validate the improvement opportunity, and upgrade the business processes. A
large number of companies have boosted their profitability, increased market share, and
improved customer satisfaction through the implementation of Six-Sigma. Companies such
as Allied Signal, General Electric, Sony, Texas Instruments, Bombadier, Crane Co.,
Lockheed Martin, and Caterpillar are beginning to dir

First-In, First-Out method can be applied in both the periodic inventory system and the
perpetual inventory system.
Example
Use the following information to calculate the value of inventory on hand on Mar 31 and costof goods sold during March in FIFO periodic inventory system and under FIFO perpetual
inventory system.
Mar 1 Beginning Inventory 60 units @ $15.00 per unit
5 Purchase 140 units @ $15.50 per unit
14 Sale 190 units @ $19.00 per unit
27 Purchase 70 units @ $16.00 per unit
29 Sale 30 units @ $19.50 per unit
Solution
FIFO Periodic
Units Available for Sale = 60 + 140 + 70 = 270
Units Sold = 190 + 30 = 220
Units in Ending Inventory = 270 220 = 50
Cost of Goods Sold Units Unit Cost Total
Sales From Mar 1 Inventory 60 $15.00 $900

(ii) Continuous stock verification: This system comprises of counting and verifying i numberof items at random daily throughout the year so that all items of stores are verified severaltimes during the year. Notice of the particular stock to be verified each clay is given to thestore-keeper only on the date of actual verification.
As there is an element of surprise check in this system of stock-taking, effective control overthe items of stores can be exercised. The system does not necessitate the closing down of thestores to facilitate stock-taking. There is also less possibility of fraud and discrepancy, but themethod is expensive and is adopted by big concerns only.
The actual stock of material should not differ from the recorded stock under normalcircumstances. But-sometimes differences arise due to the following reasons:
(i) Breakage and wastage of materials due to improper handling.
(ii) Shrinkage and evaporation.
In earlier periods, non-continuous, orperiodic inventory systems were more prevalent.Starting in the 1970s digital computers made possible the ability to implement a perpetualinventory system. This has been facilitated by bar coding and lately radio frequencyidentification (RFID) labeling which allows computer systems to quickly read and processinventory information as part of transaction processing.
Perpetual inventory systems can still be vulnerable to errors due to overstatements (phantominventory) or understatements (missing inventory) that can occur as a result of theft, breakage,
scanning errors or untracked inventory movements, leading to systematic errors inreplenishment.
The ESA95 recommends the Perpetual Inventory Method (PIM) for the calculation of thestock of Fixed assets whenever direct information is missing (par. 6.04). The calculation ofconsumption of Fixed capital can be based on these stocks of assets. Besides net capital stockwhich appears in the Balance sheets can be derived within a PIM approach. In this paragraphthe basic principles of the PIM will be discussed. Using the PIM, gross capital stock iscalculated as the sum of gross fixed capital formation in Previous years, of which the servicelive is not yet expired. In the simplest case it is assumed that the total investment of a
particular asset does not deteriorate during the expected service life of that asset and is
discarded as a whole after that period of time.
Becoming a preferred employer involves more than learning the characteristics of such an
organization, howeverit also requires that you understand what top performers want and
value in a relationship with an employer. Interestingly, the answers to both questions are the
same.
To begin with, top-tier employers offer more than competitive pay and benefits. In fact, the
word "competitive" implies that you're simply matching what many other businesses are

providing. Even important additional elements, such as a good environment and open
communication, won't necessarily make the difference.
Studies show that the most important factor is how people feel about their role in the
business. Employees perform at different levels based on how they're engaged in the
lifeblood activities of the company. When an employer brings in people who are talented,
aligned with the company's values and focused on its goals, the results can be tremendous.
