A retail company must file a monthly sales tax report listing the total sales for the month, and the amount of state and county sales tax collected. The state sales tax rate is 4% and the county sales tax rate is 2%. Create an application that allows the user to enter the total sales for the month. From this figure, the application should calculate and display the following:
- a. The amount of county sales tax
- b. The amount of state sales tax
- c. The total sales tax (county plus state)
In the application's code, represent the county tax rate (0.02) and the state tax rate (0.04) as named constants. Use the named constants in the mathematical statements. If the user fails to enter numeric values, display an appropriate error message and do not attempt to perform calculations. Use the following test data to determine whether the application is calculating properly:

- The Donut Shoppe sells four varieties of doughnuts: Glazed (1.05), Sugar (1.05), Chocolate (1.25), and Filled (1.50). It also sells regular coffee (1.50) and cappuccino (2.75). The store manager wants you to create an application that displays a customers subtotal, 6% sales tax, and total due. Create a Windows Forms application. Use the following names for the project and solution, respectively: Donut Project and Donut Solution. Save the application in the VB2017\Chap06 folder. Create the interface shown in Figure 6-57. When coding the application, use one independent Sub procedure to determine the subtotal, which is the total cost without the sales tax. Use a function to determine the sales tax. Use an event-handling Sub procedure to clear the output. Save the solution and then start and test the application.arrow_forwardWhich statement terminates an application that contains only one form? Me.Close() Me.Done() Me.Finish() Me.Stop()arrow_forwardFor each of the following exercises, you may choose to write a console-based or GUI application, or both. Write a program for The Carefree Resort named ResortPrices that prompts the user to enter the number of days for a resort stay. Then display the price per night and the total price. Nightly rates are $200 for one or two nights; $180 for three or four nights; $160 for five, six, or seven nights; and $145 for eight nights or more.arrow_forward
- In Chapter 2, you created an interactive application named GreenvilleRevenue, and in Chapter 3 you created a GUI version of the application named GreenvilleRevenueGUI. The programs prompt a user for the number of contestants entered in this years and last years Greenville Idol competition, and then they display the revenue expected for this years competition if each contestant pays a $25 entrance fee. The programs also display a statement that compares the number of contestants each year. Now, replace that statement with one of the following messages: If the competition has more than twice as many contestants as last year, display The competition is more than twice as big this year! If the competition is bigger than last years but not more than twice as big, display The competition is bigger than ever! If the competition is smaller than last years, display, A tighter race this year! Come out and cast your vote!arrow_forwardIn Chapter 2, you created a program for Marshalls Murals that prompts a user for the number of interior and exterior murals scheduled to be painted during the next month. The program computes the expected revenue for each type of mural when interior murals cost $500 each and exterior murals cost $750 each. The application should display, by mural type, the number of murals ordered, the cost for each type, and a subtotal. The application also displays the total expected revenue and a statement that indicates whether more interior murals are scheduled than exterior ones. Now create an interactive GUI program named MarshallsRevenueGUI that performs all the same tasks.arrow_forwardThe purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate the importance of testing an application thoroughly. Open the FixIt Solution.sln file contained in the VB2017\Chap04\FixIt Solution folder. The application displays a shipping charge that is based on the total price entered by the user, as shown in Figure 4-64. Start the application and then test it by clicking the Display shipping button. Notice that the Shipping charge box contains $13, which is not correct. Now, test the application using the following total prices: 100, 501, 1500, 500.75, 30, 1000.33, and 2000. Here too, notice that the application does not always display the correct shipping charge. (More specifically, the shipping charge for two of the seven total prices is incorrect.) Open the Code Editor window and correct the errors in the code. Save the solution and then start and test the application.arrow_forward
- Danielle, Edward, and Francis are three salespeople at Holiday Homes. Write an application named HomeSales that prompts the user for a salesperson initial (D, E, or F). Either uppercase or lowercase initials are valid. While the user does not type Z, continue by prompting for the amount of a sale. Issue an error message for any invalid initials entered. Keep a running total of the amounts sold by each salesperson. After the user types Z or z for an initial, display each salespersons total, a grand total for all sales, and the name of the salesperson with the highest total.arrow_forwardSales Tax and Total Create an application that allows the user to enter the amount of a purchase. The program should then calculate the state and county sales tax. Assume the state sales tax is 4 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent. The program should display the amount of the purchase, the state sales tax, the county sales tax, the total sales tax, and the total of the sale (which is the sum of the amount of purchase plus the total sales tax).arrow_forwardCreate an application that lets the user enter the monthly costs for the following expenses incurred from operating his or her automobile: loan payment, insurance, gas, oil, tires, and maintenance. The program should then display the total monthly cost of these expenses and the total annual cost of these expenses.arrow_forward
- Create an application that lets the user enter his or her weight (in pounds) and height (in inches). The application should display the user’s body mass index (BMI). The BMI is often used to determine whether a person is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula: BMI = weight × 703 ÷ height2arrow_forwardName Formatter Create an application that lets the user enter the following pieces of data: • The user’s first name • The user’s middle name • The user’s last name • The user’s preferred title (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., etc.) Assume the user has entered the following data: • First name: Kelly • Middle name: Jane • Last name: Smith • Title: Ms. The application should have buttons that display the user’s name formatted in the following ways: Ms. Kelly Jane Smith Kelly Jane Smith Kelly Smith Smith, Kelly Jane, Ms. Smith, Kelly Jane Smith, Kellyarrow_forwardThere are three seating categories at a high school athletic stadium. For a baseball game, Class A seats cost $15 each, Class B seats cost $12 each, and Class C seats cost $9 each. Create an application that allows the user to enter the number of tickets sold for each class. The application should be able to display the amount of income generated from each class of ticket sales and the total revenue generated. If the user fails to enter numeric values, display an appropriate error message and do not attempt to perform calculations Use the following test data to determine if the application is calculating properly:Ticket Sales RevenueClass A: 320 Class A: $4800.00Class B: 570 Class B: $6840.00Class C: 890 Class C: $8010.00Total Revenue: $19650.00Class A: 500 Class A: $7500.00Class B: 750 Class B: $9000.00Class C: 1200 Class C: $10800.00Total Revenue: $27300.00Class A: 100 Class A: $1500.00Class B: 300 Class B: $3600.00Class C: 500 Class C: $4500.00Total Revenue: $9600.00arrow_forward
