Week 5 Activity—Utility Charges

TCO 4—Given a simple business problem that requires one or more decisions, create a solution algorithm that uses decisions with logical and relational expressions.

Assignment
You will need to design an application that will receive the customer type and its units of utility used for the billing duration. The application will calculate and display the cost per unit based on the customer type and the total charges for that billing cycle. Calculate the charges using the following data.
Customer Type Units Consumed Cost per unit ($)
Commercial <= 1,000 $0.50 per unit Commercial 1,000 < $0.50 per unit Industrial < 800 $0.65 per unit Industrial 800 <= 2,000 $0.55 per unit Industrial 2,000 < $0.50 per unit Residential < 500 $0.85 per unit Residential 500 <= $0.75 per unit Make sure that the units consumed entered is a positive number and the Customer Type is valid; otherwise your program should display an error message and ask for the data to be entered again until the user enters valid data. Test your algorithm with the following three sets of data. Test case 1: Units used of 799, Customer Type is Industrial Test case 2: Units used 500, Customer Type is Residential Test case 3: Units used 800, Customer Type is Industrial Test case 4: Units used 1000, Customer Type is Commercial Test case 5: Units used 499, Customer Type is Residential Rubric Complete the steps and submit the completed file to the Dropbox. 1) Variable list 2) IPO chart 3) Flowchart 4) Pseudocode 5) Visual Basic code Please submit this file along with the complete project folder (in a zip file).

Use the same valid variable names you used in Step 1.   4) Pseudocode Describe your solution using pseudocode. Use the same valid variable names you selected in Step 1.   5) Visual Basic Code Screenshot of Running Program Zipped Project File (submitted to Dropbox) Copy/paste your Visual Basic Code here. Paste a screenshot(s) of the complete working program here. Use test scenarios to test all possible paths of execution. You may have to design additional test scenarios to make sure you have tested all possible paths of execution. Submit a separate zipped file to the Dropbox containing the complete project folder.
