Devi plans an education fund for her new born granddaughter; she wants to
have RM A by the time the child reaches 18 years old. She deposits RM B now
that pays 3.5% interest rate compounded every 3 months. If the accumulated
interest is RM 15 000. Determine the amount of A and B.

Section B ( 15 marks )
Answer any one question in this section

A hotel leases three types of room namely standard, superior and deluxe. The
number of standard rooms leased each month must not be more than 200. The
hotel also expects the total number of superior and deluxe rooms leased per
month will not exceed 200. Note that the hotel only has an annual maintenance
allocation of RM 8 880 000 and that the monthly maintenance per room for
each room type respectively is RM 1000, RM 2000 and RM 3000.
The estimated monthly profit obtainable is RM 500, RM 800 and RM 900 for

A store has constant weekly demand of 120 units for one of its items and no
shortages are allowed. The price of each item is RM 25. The lead time to
receive an order is 2 weeks. Every item which is kept in stock incurs a cost of
RM 5 per year. The ordering cost is RM 30 per order.
(a) Calculate the recommended order quantity for this item.
(b) Estimate the annual inventory holding and ordering costs associated with [2 marks]
this item, hence the total annual inventory cost.
