To process income tax forms, the Internal Revenue Service IRS first sends each form through the data preparation DP department, where information is coded for computer entry. Then the form is sent to data entry DE where it is entered into the computer. During the next weeks, the following numbers of forms will arrive: week ; week ; week ; week ; week ; week All employees work hours per week and are paid $ per week.
Data preparation of a form requires minutes, and data entry of a form requires minutes. Each week an employee is assigned to either data entry or data preparation. The IRS must complete processing all forms by the end of week and wants to minimize the cost of accomplishing this goal. Assume all employees are capable of performing data preparation or data entry but must be assigned to one task for an entire week at a time.
