Your Task
This assessment is to be completed individually. In this assessment, you will develop a program based onĀ a provided case study using pseudocode, a flow chart, and Python 3 language.
Assessment Description
This assessment aims to evaluate students’ ability to interpret program specifications, produce aĀ high-level model using pseudocode and flow charts, and transfer that model into a softwareĀ application using Python 3 language. To accomplish this, students will be provided with a caseĀ study that involves calculating taxation for individuals based on their income and other relevantĀ factors.Ā
Case Study:
You are a junior software developer at a financial company. Your task is to develop a program thatĀ calculates an employee’s income based on the number of hours worked and hourly rate. TheĀ program should also calculate deductions for income tax and superannuation. You will need toĀ create a pseudocode and flow chart to show your design process and develop a working programĀ using Python 3 language.Ā
The case study involves a fictional country where individuals are taxed based on their income. TheĀ income is determined by multiplying the number of hours worked by the hourly rate. Each individualĀ is taxed at 20%. Students must develop a program that can take in user input for hours worked andĀ Ā
hourly rate, to calculate the income and then apply the appropriate taxes owed based on the fixedĀ tax rate of 20%. The program must also consider any superannuation deductions, which is 10% ofĀ the income.Ā
For example, if an employee user, āJohn Smithā, enters 40 hours worked and hourly rate of $25 perĀ hour, as shown in Table 1. Then, the total income will be $1000, of which 20% is taxed ($200) andĀ 10% deducted for superannuation ($100), as shown in Table 2
Employee Name | Hours Worked | Hourly Rate |
---|---|---|
John Smith | 40 | 25 |
Jane Doe | 35 | 30 |
Employee Name | Income | Income Tax Deduction | Superannuation Deduction |
---|---|---|---|
John Smith | 1000 | 200 | 100 |
Jane Doe | 1050 | 210 | 105 |
This assessment aims to achieve the following subject learning outcomes:
LO1 | Interpret simple program specifications. |
LO2 | Produce a high-level model via the use of pseudocode and flow charts. |
LO3 | Transfer a high-level model into a software application via the use of a programming language. |
Assessment Instructions
Assessment instructions for this assessment:Ā
- You will be provided with a case study and data for the program.Ā
- Develop a pseudocode and flow chart that demonstrates the design process for the program.
- Develop a Python 3 program that calculates an employee’s income based on the provided dataĀ and includes deductions for income tax and superannuation.Ā
- The program should include appropriate comments and be clearly organised into functions andĀ loops.Ā
- You cannot use modules, dictionaries, files, or classes, but only lists, loops, and functions.Ā Optionally, you may or may not use strings.Ā
- Submit your pseudocode, flow chart, and Python 3 program code to the designated submissionĀ platform by the due date.Ā
- Please refer to the assessment marking guide to assist you in completing all the assessmentĀ criteria.
