URGENT HELP NEEDED
KING KONG ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY
BILL CALCULATOR
You are required to develop a script that will enable KING KONG ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY to
calculate customer bills based on their meter readings.
The customers are categorized into the following categories:
 Residential customers
 Commercial customers
Residential tariff rates
If the units of power consumed is less than or equal to (<=) 75 kW per month, the government
will subsidize at the rate of 17.64 cents per unit for all consumptions equal to or less than
75kW per month and in effect the customer will pay 17.20 cents per unit.
If the units of power consumed are greater than (>) 75 kW per month, the user is not entitled
for government subsidy. All consumptions will be charged at the rate of 34.84 cents per unit.
Commercial tariff rates
If the units of power consumed is less than or equal to (<=) 14,999 kW per month, the
consumer is charged at 42 cents per unit. The excess units will be charged at 44 cents per unit
and added to the overall total.
Program flow:
The following are the inputs to the program:
1. Client name
2. Client address
3. Client category (“R” for residential or “C” for commercial)
4. Date of meter reading
5. Period of meter reading (start month - end month)
6. Previous meter reading

2. Total billing (VEP)
3. Total VAT @ 15%
4. Total billing (Total billing (VEP) + VAT)...please help me do this

Hello!

In case you forgot to read the forum rules, here is quick copy.

Quote:
RULES OF THE UNIX AND LINUX FORUMS


(1) No flames, shouting (all caps), sarcasm, bullying, profanity or arrogant posts.

(2) No negative comments about others or impolite remarks. Be patient.

(3) Refrain from idle chatter that does not contribute to the knowledge base. This does not apply to the forums in The Unix Lounge which are for off-topic discussions.

(4) Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly. No duplicate or cross-posting and do not report a post or send a private message where your goal is to get an answer more quickly.

(5) Search the forums database with your keywords before asking.

(6) Do not post classroom or homework problems in the main forums. These most be posted in our Homework forum under special rules.

(7) No job postings from headhunters or recruiters except in The Unix Forums Job Board. See How to Post to The UNIX Forums Job Board for information on using the Job Board.

(8) No BSD vs. Linux vs. Windows or similar threads.

(9) Edit your posts if you see spelling or grammar errors (don't write in cyberchat or cyberpunk style). English only.

(10) Don't post your email address and ask for an email reply. Don't send a private message with a technical question. The forums are for the benefit of all, so all Q&A should take place in the forums.

(11) Post questions with descriptive subjects. For example, do not post questions with subjects like "Help Me!", "Urgent!!" or "Doubt". Post subjects like "Execution Problems with Cron" or "Help with Backup Shell Script".

(12) These are not hacker boards so hacker related posts will be promptly deleted or moderated.

(13) The forum administrators reserve the right to prune, move or edit posts that do not adhere to the rules or are technically inaccurate.

(14) The forum administrators reserve the right to remove users or change their posting status to read only without notice if any rules are not followed.

(15) No smoking in the forums.
Cheers.

The UNIX and Linux Forums
