A Jewellery Store Needs a Program to Calculate the Cost of Engraving Names Or Messages

Practical Test Question 1

A company needs a program to help calculate the Yearly Bonus for each employee. The Yearly Bonus is determined by considering several different factors. The first factor is the Number of Years a person has been employed by the firm. Being employed for 1 to 5 years adds R100.00 to the bonus, being employed for 6 to 10 years adds R200.00 to the bonus, and being employed for 11 or more years adds R350.00 to the bonus. (Use Radiobuttons for input)

In addition to the Number of Years, an employee's Work Grade is considered. For Work Grade 1, R75.00 is added to the bonus; for Work Grade 2, R100.00 is added to the bonus; and for Work Grade 3, R125.00 is added to the bonus. Also, if an employee has participated in community service (Parcipation = "Y"), then an additional R100.00 is added to the bonus. And finally, 5 percent of the employee's Current Salary is computed and added to the bonus. (Use Radiobuttons for input)

Use the given flowchart and code the program into Visual Basic.Net (Save as Student number frm1)

Read Participation, Current Salary

Number of True Yearly Bonus = Years <= 5 100.00

Number of True Yearly Bonus = Years <= 10 200.00

Yearly Bonus = 350.00

Yearly Bonus = Work Grade = True Yearly Bonus + 1 75.00

Yearly Bonus = Work Grade = True Yearly Bonus + 2 100.00

Yearly Bonus = Yearly Bonus + 125.00

Yearly Bonus = Participation = True Yearly Bonus + “Y” 100.00 False

Yearly Bonus = Yearly Bonus + (CurrentSalary * 0.05)

Write Yearly Bonus

A Jewellery Store needs a program to calculate the cost of engraving names or messages on jewellery items or trophies.

The program should continually accept and calculate the cost of names or messages to be engraved. To end this process it is required that “---“ is typed as the message to signal that the repeated process is stopped.

Once the program accepts the name or message to be engraved as input, it should determine how many characters there are in this name or message. Allow the program to analyze the name or message, character by character (letter by letter). Use the following guidelines:

First Five Letters (characters): For the first five letters the cost is a total of R20. Take note that if one of the first five letters happens to be a capital letter, an additional R2 fee is charged, per capital letter, on the R20 whereas a space will be treated as a lower case character.

Remaining Letters (characters): Every letter after the fifth letter is charged at R5 per lowercase letter, R7 per uppercase letter and R1 for a space. (Save as Student number frm2)
