Currently Rick works a full time job. His hours are from four in the afternoon to four in the morning. Eight of these hours are mandatory while the other four are suggested overtime. Recently Rick has begun to attend school at night in order to earn his Master’s degree. On the night that he attends school he normally arrives at work at nine p.m. and does not work any overtime.
Rick has also decided to continue attending flight school in order to achieve a commercial pilot’s license. He attends flight school three days a week, at his leisure, from ten a.m. until two p.m.
Lately Rick has felt overwhelmed by his demanding schedule and has decided to start taking some time off. Construct a table utilizing time assessment in order to show different options for Rick to maximize his time off.
Another factor effecting his decision is his income. While working a full time job does not leave much room for many other activities, attending both schools offers him the opportunity to greatly increase his income and therefore reducing the amount of time he must spend working. Currently Rick earns sixty thousand a year. He receives financial aid in the amount of two thousand dollars a month for pursing his Master’s degree and seven hundred dollars a month for attending flight school. The only stipulation is that he may attend both schools but only receive financial assistance for one of them. Given the information devise a table showing how Rick can maximize his income.
