Sales are paid based on an annual salary rather than an hourly wage. However, some employees are paid weekly while others are paid every other week (biweekly). Weekly employees receive 52 paychecks; biweekly employees receive 26 paychecks. The payroll manager wants a program that displays two amounts: an employee’s weekly gross pay and his or her biweekly gross pay. Complete an IPO chart for this problem. Desk-check the algorithm using $56,700 as the salary. Then desk-check it using $32,660.

A group of people, numbered 1 to N, are sitting in a circle. Starting at person 1, a hot potato is passed. After x number of passes, the person holding the hot potato is eliminated, the circle closes ranks, and the game continues with the person who was sitting after the eliminated person picking up the hot potato. The last remaining person wins. For example: number of passes = 1 and number of players = 5, the order of elimination is 2, 4, 1, 5. Write a program for general values of X and N. Ask a user for the number of people and number of passes To speed up the input and debugging, you may wish to store the names of the people in a file. Make sure no two names start the same letter ( Alex and Ana are not OK). Alternatively, you can number the players.

Write a program to calculate total ordering cost. Jacob is a retailer for ice. Normally a bag of ice costs $2.5, but the price varies with the amount that he purchases. The following table shows the discount that Jacob receives. Order Volume Discount Rate >= 200 bags 25% off 120 - 199 bags 20% off 60 - 119 bags 15% off 40 -59 bags 10% off 20 – 39 bags 5.5% off 0-19 bags No discount (1) Inyourprogram,definevariableswithmeaningfulnamestoacceptuserinputonordervolume, and calculate total ordering cost based on the order volume inputted.

When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)
Write a program that converts c) 12-hour time to military time to and d) military time to 12-hour time. By 12-hour time, I mean times with an AM/PM. For this problem we can assume that all 12-hour times are formated as in the following examples “3 14 AM”, “12 15 PM”, “12 59 AM”.Note that there is a space (not a colon) in between the hours and minutes and the AM/PM. Also note that we are capitalizing AM and PM. For part c, you can assume that the user enters in this format. Military time is a 24-hour time with no colon or space in between the hours and minutes, e.g. 1514 for 3:14 PM. (It is okay if your solution to part c sometimes outputs a 3-digit number such as 306 for 3 06 AM.) (you can't use “if” statements.)
When you use a mortgage to purchase a home, the lending institution effectively owns the home. You buy back part ownership in the home with each monthly payment. The part you have bought back is your equity in the home. If the mortgage amount is P dollars, the monthly interest rate is r as a decimal, and the term of the mortgage is t months, then your equity after k payments is E(k) = P((1 + r)k − 1) (1 + r)t − 1 dollars. In this exercise, assume that the mortgage amount is $200,000, the APR is 6% so r = .06/12 and the term of the loan is 30 years (360 months). (a) Find a formula for the equity. (b) Make a graph of the equity over 360 months, the term of the loan. (c) Does the graph show that you have half-ownership in the home halfway through the term of the mortgage? Halfway through the term of the mortgage corresponds to k1 = _______ payments. From the graph, we see that E(k1) is ________ half of the mortgage amount, so we _______ have half-ownership in the home…
You are working for a lumber company, and your employer would like a program that calculates the cost of lumber for an order. The company sells pine, fir, cedar, maple, and oak lumber. Lumber is priced by board feet. One board foot equals one square foot that is one inch thick. Theprice per board foot is given in the following table: Pine 0.89Fir 1.09Cedar 2.26 Maple 4.50Oak 3.10 The lumber is sold in different dimensions (specified in inches of width and height, and feet of length) that need to be converted to board feet. For example, a 2 x 4 x 8 piece is 2 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 feet long, and is equivalent to 5.333 board feet (2 * 4 * 8 = 64, which when divided by 12 = 5.333 board feet). An entry from the user will be in the form of a letter and four integer numbers. The integers are the number of pieces, width, height, and length. The letter will be one of P, F, C, M, O (corresponding to the five kinds of wood) or T, meaning total. When the letter is T, there are no…
Let's modify the program from this section so that the user can supply the interest rate. For very small interest rates, it may take a very long time for the balance to double. Assume the user can't wait for more than twenty years. Stop adding interest when the balance has doubled or twenty years have elapsed. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 finaldoubleTARGET=2*INITIAL_BALANCE; doublebalance=INITIAL_BALANCE; intyear=0; Scannerin=newScanner(System.in); System.out.print("Interest rate in percent: "); doublerate=in.nextDouble(); // TODO: Count the years required for the investment to double // but no more than 20 years /* Your code goes here */ System.out.println("Year: "+year); System.out.printf("Balance: %.2f%n", balance); }
A company wants a program that will calculate the weekly paycheck for an employee based on how many hours they worked. For this company, an employee earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $30 an hour, for each hour they work above 40 hours. Example: If an employee works 60 hours in a week, they would earn $20/hr for the first 40 hours. Then they would earn $30/hr for the 20 hours they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: ($20/hr * 40hrs) + ($30/hr * 20 hrs) = $800 + $600 = $1400 total.
What is the probability that in a classroom of x people, at least 2 will be born on the same day of the year (ignore leap year)? Use a Monte Carlo Simulation and a frequency table to write a program that calculates this probability, where the number of people (x) in the simulated class is given by the user. The probability for a class of size 23, should be right around 50%. NO language of "break" or "true" please! Please use the outline given below for the code:
The Research team led by Bernadette Wolowitz at Cal-tech University has discovered a new Amoeba that grows in the order of a Fibonacci series every month. They are exhibiting this amoeba in a national. conference. They want to know the size of the amoeba at a particular time instant. If a particular month's index is given, write a program to display the amoeba's size. For Example, the size of the amoeba on month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,... will be 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.... respectively.
