Question

Clyde Clerk is reviewing his firm’s expense reimbursement policies with the new salesperson, Trav Farr. "Our reimbursement policies depend on the situation. You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 18.5 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 a.m., lunch by 11:00 a.m., and have dinner by 5:00 p.m. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 a.m., lunch later than 2:00 p.m., and have dinner by 7:00 p.m. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances. The same times apply for meal expenses." Write structured English for Clyde’s narrative of the reimbursement policies. Draw a decision tree.

Answer 1

The answer is described in the image.

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm is responsible for all expenses made by it's employees, so for a local trip, the cost of gas relative to the mileage covered during the journey is paid for ( 18 cents per mileage).

If it is not a local trip, then it is a one-day trip, so the firm pays for the mileage and the cost of the meals not taken in the company, which depends on the departure and return/arrival time. If the departure and return time is 7am to 10am, the employee is paid for breakfast, if the departure and return is 11am to 2pm then the employee is paid for lunch, and for dinner, 5pm to 7pm.
