“Yes”, there comes a point at which the service charges restrict the access to the economy.
Automated Banking System:
The banking system is becoming automated with the advent of technology. The use of credit/debit cards, internet banking, mobile banking, electronics and transfer of funds has paved way towards cashless economy.
- In earlier times, if you withdraw money multiple times in a month from the bank, there were no extra charges for the same.
- In modern times, there is service charge for using ATM card. For the transactions above the minimum number, charges are levied for each exceeded transaction.
- For payments using internet banking, there are services charges for buying an item. Bank customers do need to have minimum amount of balance in their account, in order to not to get penalized.
- As everything is becoming more dependent on cashless economy, the exceeding service charges are unjustifiable. There needs to be some control over the amount of charge levied on the customers by the banks.
- There are many who can’t keep minimum account in their balance. If the charges keep increasing over every service which was earlier free, it would restrict the individual access to economy.
If the employers only pay by check and the financial institutions charge for the check, it is highly “unfair” for the customer or consumer.
Explanation:
- Stringent laws need to be enforced to safeguard the rights of the employee.
- Either there has to be alternate mode of payment to be made available by the employer like direct deposit or cash payment or payment by draft or there has to be some regulation on the banking system so that system is fair to the user.
Available of choice for Direct Deposit Scheme or Check:
It is “unfair”, to employee to offer only one mode of payment.
- Direct deposit is an electronic funds transfer (EFT) that lets paychecks directly into checking or savings account.
- Direct deposit can save you time as well as make sure your payroll is secure and organized. Employees can increase their personal savings and eliminate the hassle of running to the bank to deposit a paycheck every payday.
- However, some employees prefer physical paycheck or cash. Just as forgers can easily create and cash fake checks, hackers can get into the ACH system and quickly make huge withdrawals from an employer's bank, to the tune of perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, before the crime has been detected.
- Some employees have personal circumstances, which are often related to debt collection, child support and divorce. And it is a drawback that makes a payroll check preferable to direct deposit.
There are federal laws on direct deposit, but states can also make regulations. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) protects employers and employees who use features like direct deposit. Federal law says that employers can make direct deposit mandatory.
However, one of the following conditions must be met:
- The employee must be able to choose the bank for direct deposit.
- If the employer chooses the bank, they must offer another form of payment for the employee, such as a paper check

For simplification, only consider cutting the rope at an integer position by the meter metric. Each cut has a cost associated with it, c(m), which is the cost of cutting the rope at position m. (You can call c(m) at any time to return the cost value.) The goal is to cut the rope into k smaller pieces, minimizing the total cost of cutting. B Provide the pseudo-code of your dynamic programming algorithm f(n,k) that will return the minimum cost of cutting the rope of length n into k pieces. Briefly explain your algorithm.

Identify the missing values you think exist in the dataset. Use Column letter and Row number to refer to each missing value in the dataset. Please write down how you want to address each particular missing value (you can group them if they receive same treatment). For imputation, you do not need to calculate the exact imputed values but just describe what kind of value you want to use to impute.arrow_forward
