Clyde Clerk is reviewing his firm’s expense reimbursement policies with the new salesperson, Trav Farr. “Our reimbursement policies depend on the situation. You see, first we determine if it is a local trip. If it is, we only pay mileage of 45 cents a mile. If the trip was a one-day trip, we pay mileage and then check the times of departure and return. To be reimbursed for breakfast, you must leave by 7:00 A.M., lunch by 11:00 A.M., and have dinner by 5:00 P.M. To receive reimbursement for breakfast, you must return later than 10:00 A.M., lunch later than 2:00 P.M., and have dinner by 7:00 P.M. On a trip lasting more than one day, we allow hotel, taxi, and airfare, as well as meal allowances. The same times apply for meal expenses.”

It has been observed by management that some faculty members at theuniversity demonstrate a lackadaisical attitude toward teaching. They seldom go to class yet at the end of each month they receive full salary. Management has decided that GHs 200, 300, 400, and 500 will be deducted from a faculty’s salary if he/she offends once, twice, third time and forth time respectively in a month. This means that if a faculty member offends once in a month GHs200 will be deducted, if a faculty member offends twice in a month, GHs 500 (i.e. 200+300) will be deducted, if a faculty member offends three times in a month GHs 900 (i.e. 200+300+400), will be deducted and if a faculty member offends four times in a month GHs 1,400 (i.e. 200+300+400+500).

An electronics mega store is getting opened in "India". Under the same cap of Indian Mega store other two mega stores for North and South are getting opened. Under cap of North Store, two more sub-stores are getting opened. In this manner, total of 15 stores are opened which each having their own regions to cater to. At a particular time a store can handle at the most two sub stores. A particular store makes an earning of "X" amount for a given month. Ultimately at the end of month, all sub store submit their collected amount to their managing store. An model is needed to add more store, and print their monthly revenue.

- Problem 5. An Electricity board charges the following rates mentioned in the table for the use of electricity. All users are charged Taka 50 as a meter charge for every month. If any user wants to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated based on ● Customer Category ● Consumed Units ● Phase ● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time. ● Meter Charge Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of units consumed and print out the monthly bill. Note that ● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer category. ● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a montharrow_forwardA company manufactures 3 products in 2 different factories. The cost of production and time required for production for each product varies depending on which factory produces it.

There are a total of 3,000 hours available in each factory. Additionally, at least 60% of the total units of Product 1 must be produced in Factory A, and at least 40% of of the total units of Product 2 must be produced in Factory B.

The company's policy requirements specify that the company must spend at least GH¢40,000 on TV and allow monthly newspaper expenditures up to GH¢60,000. The payoff from each advertising medium is a function of the size of its audience.
