 Create a new project that consists of the base class BankAccount.

The BankAccount class should contain, at minimum, the following members.

1. It should contain data members to store a bank customer’s balance and account number. These should be of different and appropriate data types.

2. It should have function members that do the following:

1. set the account number;

2. return the account number;

3. return the account balance;

4. deposit money into the account; and

5. withdraw money from the account.

 

The class CheckingAccount should contain, at a minimum, the following members.

1. It should contain a data member to keep track of the number of withdrawal transactions made on the account. Whenever a withdrawal is made, this number should be incremented.

2. Override the base class, withdraw-money function, and add the capability to deduct transaction fees from an account using the following guidelines.

1. The checking account is allowed three free transactions. For each successful withdrawal transaction past the three free transactions, there will be a service fee of 50 cents per transaction. The service fee should be deducted from the account balance at the time the transaction is made.

2. If there are insufficient funds in the account balance to cover the withdrawal plus the service fee, the withdrawal should be denied.

The function should return a value to indicate whether the transaction succeeded or failed. Transaction fees should be deducted only from successful transactions, but the transaction count should be incremented in either case.
 

The class CheckingAccount should contain, at a minimum, the following members.

1. It should contain a data member to hold the daily interest rate. The daily interest rate can be calculated from a yearly interest rate by dividing the annual rate by 365.

2. It should contain a data member to keep track of the number of days since the last transaction or balance inquiry. This should be updated using a random-number generator (reference Lab 1) that will return a value representing the number of days between 0 and 7, inclusive. We will assume that this bank is open every day of the year.

3. It should contain a data member to hold the interest earned since the last transaction or balance inquiry.

4. It should contain a function member to set the annual interest rate.

5. Utilize the base-class functions for both withdrawal and deposit operations for the savings account.

6. Override the base-class-balance inquiry function to add calculating and adding interest to the account based on the daily interest rate, the current balance of the account, and the number of days since the last balance inquiry. This should be called only when a balance inquiry is made, not when a deposit or withdrawal transaction or an account number inquiry is made.

7. If there are insufficient funds in the account balance to cover a withdrawal, the withdrawal should be denied. The number of days since the last transaction or balance inquiry and the interest calculations should still be made.

8. A value should be returned to indicate whether a withdrawal transaction succeeded or failed.

9. It should contain a function member to return the interest earned since the last transaction or balance inquiry.

1. It should contain a function member to return the number of days since the last transaction or balance inquiry.
 

ll data-input and data-display operations (cin and cout) should be done in the function main() test program.

2. The test program should create one checking account and one savings account with initial balances of $100 each using the functions defined in the class definitions. The test program should also assign a unique, five-digit account number to each account and assign an annual interest rate of 3% for the savings account.

3. The test program should then display a menu that allows the user to select which option is to be performed on which account, including the following.

1. Make a deposit and specify the amount to a selected or an entered account.

2. Make a withdrawal and specify the amount to a selected or an entered account.

3. Return the balance of a selected or an entered account.

1. For deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, and balance inquiries, the updated balance and any fees charged or interest earned should also be displayed.

2. For the savings account, the number of days since last transaction should be displayed.

4. Exit the program.

Each account operation should display the account number and the account type.

Using the Day class of Worked  Example 2.1, write a program that generates a Day object representing  February 28 of this year, and three more such objects that represent  February 28 of the next three years. Advance each object by one day, and  print each object. Also print the expected values

Example 2.1: 

public class DaysAlivePrinter

{

 public static void main(String[] args)

 {

  Day jamesGoslingBirthday = new Day(1955, 5, 9);

  Day today = new Day();

  System.out.print(“Today:”);

  System.out.println(today.toString());

  int daysAlive = today.daysFrom(jamesGoslingBirthday);

  System.out.print(“Day alive: “);

  System.out.println(daysAlive);

Modify the Week Two Java™ application using Java™ NetBeans™ IDE to meet these additional and changed business requirements:

The company has recently changed its total annual compensation policy to improve sales.

· A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of $75,000. The current sales target for every salesperson is $120,000.

The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met. The current commission is 5% of total sales.

 

If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is 1.5%.

The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it should display the total annual compensation.

 

The application should also display a table of potential total annual compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000 increments above the salesperson’s annual sales, until it reaches 50% above the salesperson’s annual sales.

Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table would look like this:

  

 
 

Total Sales

 
 

Total Compensation

 

 
 

100,000

 
 

<>

 

 
 

105,000

The Java™ application should also meet these technical requirements:

· The application should have at least one class, in addition to the application’s controlling class.

· The source code must demonstrate the use of conditional and looping structures.
There should be proper documentation in the source code.

WK3 Apply – Supporting Research

 

Assignment Content

  1. Conducting research and creating a supporting research report serves two important purposes with respect to your project:
    1. It explains your technological choices in terms of business benefits and risks. This explanation is crucial for executive approval.
    2. It either reinforces or improves your plan–but only if you apply the results of your research to a new draft of your plan. In the industry, project managers develop their plans iteratively and change them as they conduct more research and identify better or cheaper alternatives. This iterative approach is especially relevant to IT projects because new technologies are developed and forced to retire at a very quick pace.
    3. For this assignment, you will conduct research and create a supporting research report. Then, based on your research, you will identify and explain the rationale for three improvements to the project plan you submitted last week.

      Download the Supporting Research Report template.

      Conduct additional research on your project’s industry, recommended technology vendors, and the categories presented in the Supporting Research Report. You may want to include the Gartner Group and Forrester Research in your list of organizations to research.

      Complete the Supporting Research Report template.

      Create a second draft of your project plan. Highlight in yellow the three changes you made to the second draft based on the in-depth research you conducted this week, and explain why you made the changes.

CMIS102 Homework Assignment 1 (Worth 13% of your grade)

Problem definition: Calculate the usable area in square feet of house. Assume that the house has a maximum of four rooms, and that each room is rectangular.

A. Problem Analysis – Following the directions in the assignment, clearly write up your problem analysis in this section. 

This program will calculate the number of square feet in a 4-room rectangular house. In order for the program to calculate the total square feet, it must have some input values. To compute the input values, the area of each room must be computed. To find the area of each room multiply the length times the width of each individual room. Once this is done, the area of each room must be added  together to obtain the output – which is the total usable area in squae feet of the house.

B. Program Design – Following the directions in the assignment, clearly write up your problem design in this section and comment your pseudocode. 

C. Program Comments and Test Data – Following the directions in the assignment, include your test data and expected results in this section.

Wk 4 – Apply: Risk Register

 

Assignment Content

  1. Tony and his project team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information, Tony decided to be more proactive in managing risks and want to address positive risks as well as negative risks.

    Complete the following tasks:

    1. Create a risk register for the project. Identify 6 potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks.
    2. Develop a 45- to 90-word response strategy for each risk. Enter the information in the risk register.
    3. Write a separate 175-word paragraph describing what specific tasks would be required to implement the strategy. Include time and cost estimates for each strategy.
    4. Submit your risk register with the response strategy and explanation.

      Note: A Risk Register template is available, but it is not required that you use it.
