Bad debts are assumed irrecoverable and hence
produce no interest revenue.Competition with other
financial institutions in the area requires that the
bank allocates at least 400/oof the total funds to
farms and commercial loans. To assist housing
industry in the region, home loans must be at least
5Ao/oof the personal,car and home loans. The bank
also has a stated policy specifying that the overall
ratio for bad debts on all loans may not exceed
0.04.
Formulate the above so as to maximize net return
,that is comprised of the difference between the
revenue from interest and lost funds to bad debts. 10

5. (a) one of the main products of P&T Company is
canned peas. The peas are prepared at three
canneries, and then shipped by truck to four
distributing warehouses.Becausethe shipping costs
are substantial,managementhas initiated a study to
reduce them as much as possible.For the upcoming
season,dr estimatehas been made about the output
from each cannery, each warehouse has been
allocateda certain amount from the total supply of
peas. This information (in units of truckloads),along
with , the shipping cost per truckload for each
cannery-warehouse combinationis given below.
