Draw a behavioral state machine diagram that describes the various states that a travel

authorization can have through its approval process.

A travel authorization form is used in most companies to approve travel expenses for

employees. Typically, an employee lls out a blank form and sends it to his or her boss

for a signature. If the amount is fairly small (< $300), then the boss signs the form and

routes it to accounts payable to be input into the accounting system. The system cuts a

check that is sent to the employee for the right amount, and aft er the check is cashed, the

form is led away with the canceled check. If the check is not cashed within 90 days, the

travel form expires. When the amount of the travel voucher is a large amount (< $300),

then the boss signs the form and sends it to the CFO, along with a paragraph explaining

the purpose of the travel; the CFO signs the form and passes it along to accounts payable.

Of course, the boss and the CFO can reject the travel authorization form if they do not

feel that the expenses are reasonable. In this case, the employee can change the form to

include more explanation or decide to pay the expenses.
