Abstract

The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the twentieth century. Microwave ovens are popular because they cook food incredibly quick. Compared to the conventional cooking time, microwave cooking takes only 30% of the time. Besides, microwave cooking helps retain the nutrients in the food. Further, microwave ovens offer great cooking flexibility. They are safer and cheaper to operate than the conventional ovens and turn off at a predetermined time. Most microwaves have a touch pad for programming operations. Microwaves have become an increasingly visible presence in the Indian homes. With the phenomenon of nuclear families becoming a reality and with women moving out of their households in order to augment their family income, a microwave comes in handy to share the burden of household chores.

Abstract

Funds management is an integrated approach to match liabilities (sources) and assets (uses). Each source of funding uniquely influences the employment of funds and the overall profitability of banks. Capital funds determine the risk absorption capacity as well as the type of asset(s) to be held by banks. The size and composition of deposits determine the volume of funds to be employed in investments and advances. Efficient management of funds requires mobilization and utilization of funds in a manner that minimizes costs, generates revenue, recovers operational and financial costs, and contributes towards reasonable returns. A mismatch between sources and uses would be imminent with increased linkage of banking operations to market dynamics. Therefore, it is necessary to trace the interrelationship between sources and usage of funds, and make an appropriate design that has a high degree of customer orientation.
