A group of college students is planning a camping trip during the upcoming break. The group must hike several miles through the woods to get to the campsite, and anything that is needed on this trip must be packed in a knapsack and carried to the campsite. On particular student, Tina Shawl, has identified eight items that she would like to take on the trip, but the combined weight is too great to take all of them. She has decided to rate the utility of each item on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the most beneficial. The item weights in pounds and their utility values are given below.

Item    1    2 3 4    5    6 7 8

Weight 8    1 7    6 3 12 5 14

Utility 80    20 50    55    50 75 30    70

Recognizing that the hike to the campsite is a long one, a limit of 35 pounds has been set as the maximum total weight of the items to be carried.

a) Formulate this as a 0-1 programming problem to maximize the total utility of the items carried.Solve this knapsack problem using a computer.

b) Suppose item number 3 is an extra battery pack, which may be used with several of the other items.Tina has decided that she will only take item number 5, a CD player, if she also takes item number 3.On the other hand, if she takes item number 3, she may or may not take item number 5.Modify this problem to reflect this and solve the new problem.

Suppose that a bicyclist is traveling at an energetic 20 mph on a flat road, and the combination of rolling resistance and air drag is 10 pounds. (48 pts, 8 pts each part) a. What is the rate at which the bicyclist is doing useful work at this speed, in watts and horsepower? b. Measurements indicate that this performance requires conversion of food energy at a rate of 8 kcal/min. What is the first-law efficiency of the cyclist as a machine in converting energy to work at 20 mph? Assume that in a sedentary state, the rate of energy consumed by the cyclist’s body is 1.5 kcal/min. c. What is the bicyclist’s “miles per gallon” equivalent if the energy in the extra food consumed to power the bicycle is equated to the energy in gasoline? d. If the needed energy is obtained from energy bars containing 200 Calories and costing $1.50 each, what is the bicyclist’s fuel cost in cents per mile? What is the fuel cost in cents per mile for a car that gets 20 mpg using $3 per gallon gasoline? e. What are the CO2 emissions per mile for the bicyclist and the car? Consider only what is being emitted as they proceed. Do not include lifecycle considerations, and for the bicyclist only include the CO2 associated with propulsion. For the bicyclist, assume the energy bar consists of carbohydrates with a simplified molecular formula of CH2O and an energy content of 4 kcal/g. For the car, assume the gasoline consists of entirely of iso-octane, C8H18, with a specific gravity of 0.7 and an energy content of 45 MJ/kg. f. Without doing a calculation, name at least three elements of a lifecycle CO2 analysis that would change the emissions per mile calculation above, and whether they would tend to increase or decrease the value for each of the transportation modes.

Hudson Group is a one of the largest and most recognizable travel retailers in North America. we own and manage over 1,000 duty-paid and duty-free stores in 89 locations, including airports, commuter terminals, hotels and some of the most visited landmarks and tourist destinations in the world.
In 2019 we initiated the Hudson Next Project, one of the key pillars being the completion of design and implementation of four new brands within the current Business Operating Model.
These brands include: Speciality stores, Newsstands, Book stores & Brook stone stores
The new Specitity stores will be based out of the LAX airport. They will cost approximately $19 million to contruct and will require approximately 50 employees to operate. The Newstands, located in Newark, New Jersey, will be based out of the airport - less than 15 miles outside of New York City, will cost $6.5 million to construct and 20 employees to operate. The bookstores, located in Houston, will require⁶ $8 million to construct and 15 employees to operate. Located in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the new Brookstones stores will cost $12 million to construct and 50 employees to operate across all stores.
Hudson Group will pledge 75.5 million in new construction and hire no more than 260 employees. Annually, Specialty stores are a 9.5 million operation, Newstands are a $2.4 million operation, bookstores are a 1.2 million operation and the new Brookstones stores net 3.3 million in volume and growing.
If Hudson Group wasnts to maximize it’s annual revenue, how many of each for brands should they build?

The Mountain Top Resort Community is an elegant, thriving four-season resort and community of over 1,200 single family homes, 1,000 time-share units, and a multi-million-dollar ski business. Guests visiting the resort can enjoy the indoor/outdoor water park, play golf on one of the two 18-hole championship golf courses, ski, snowboard, or snow tube in the winter on 14 trails that are all lighted for night skiing, or relax at the full-service spa. There are also three dining rooms, card rooms, nightly movies, and live weekend entertainment.

The resort uses a computerized system to make room reservations and bill customers.

Following standard policy for the industry, the resort also offers authorized travel agents a 10 percent commission on room bookings. Each week, the resort prints an exception report of bookings made by unrecognized travel agents. However, the managers usually pay the commissions anyway, partly because they don't want to anger the travel agencies and partly because the computer file that maintains the list of authorized agents is not kept up-to-date.

Although management has not discovered it, several employees are exploiting these circumstances. As often as possible, they call the resort from outside phones, pose as travel agents, book rooms for friends and relatives, and collect the commissions. The incentive is obvious: rooms, costing as little as $100 per day result in payments of $10 per day to the "travel agencies" that book them. The scam has been going on for years, and several guests now book their rooms exclusively through these employees, finding these people particularly courteous and helpful.

Requirements:

1. Would you say this is a computer crime? Why or why not?

2. Is this fraud? Why or why not?

3. What internal controls would you recommend that would enable the resort's managers to prevent such offenses? (please give me as many as you can identify)

4. Classify the controls that you just identified above as either preventive, detective, or corrective.

5. How does the matter of "accountability" (tracing transactions to specific agencies) affect the problem?
