 New Student Competition Problem:The problem this semester centers around the BankOfSimio, a global custodian bank that offers currency exchanges for their clients. The bank has many responsibilities and centers around optimizing cash flows. For example, a client may want to purchase equity in a British company that conducts their business in British Pound Sterlings (GBP), but the client wants to spend United States Dollars (USD). BankOfSimio will take the USD and give out GBP so that client can then purchase the desired equity. BankOfSimio will then take a small percentage on each exchange that it provides. Clients expect their exchanges to happen in a timely manner so that their transactions are not delayed. Therefore, BankOfSimio must hold cash on hand for each type of currency that it will exchange. For the full problem you can find more on our website.
