Task 1

ABC Company uses a spreadsheet to record the car orders and loans from customers.
You are required to finish setting up the spreadsheet to calculate the monthly instalment
for each of the order.

Open the file CARORDERS. You will see the following data.

Save the file as ORDERS_<your name>_<index number>

1 Use an appropriate function to search for the Basic Price of each car model
type in the Model Basic Price table and use it to complete the Basic Price
column. [2]

2 Use a conditional statement to determine the Package Price for each order.
The Package Price costs 0%, 10% and 20% of the Basic Price for Classic, [2]
Deluxe and Luxury packages respectively.

3 Thereafter, calculate the Total Price of the car. The Total Price is the Basic
Price added to the Package Price. [1]

4 Use an appropriate function to calculate the Loan Amount of the car. The Loan
Amount is the loan % of the Total Price. [1]

5 Use an appropriate function to search for the Annual Interest Rate in the Rates
table and use it to complete the Rate column. [2]

Task 2

The following program allows the weights and heights of 10 students to be input. The
program then computes the body mass index, bmi and output the appropriate output if
the bmi falls outside the acceptable range.

students = 10
upp_bound = 25
low_bound = 18.5

for count in range(students):

weight = float(input('Enter weight of student in kg '))
height = float(input('Enter height of student in cm '))
bmi = weight/height**2 * 10000
if bmi > upp_bound:
print('Student is overweight')
if bmi < low_bound:
print('Student is underweight')

Open the file BMI.py

Save the file as MYBMI_<your name>_<index number>

8 Edit the program so that it:

(a) Accepts input for 15 students. [1]

(b) Prints out the message 'Student's weight is normal' when the [2]
bmi falls within the acceptable range of 18.5 to 25 inclusive.

(c) Prints out the number of students that were underweight, as well as the
number that were overweight after all the weights and heights of the [2]
students have been entered.

Save your program.

9 Save your program as MYBMI2_<your name>_<index_number>

Edit your program so that it:

(a) Tests whether the user has entered a weight from 30 kg to 150 kg [2]
inclusive, and if not, outputs the message 'Invalid weight' and
asks the user for input again as necessary.

(b) Tests whether the user has entered a height from 80 cm to 200 cm [2]
inclusive, and if not, outputs the message 'Invalid height' and
asks the user for input again as necessary.

(c) Works for any number of students. [1]

Save your program.

Task 3

The following program searches a list of names to check if it contains a name.

If the name is found in the list, a message is displayed on the screen that states the
corresponding mark in a separate mark list. Otherwise, a message is displayed on the
screen that states the name is not in the list.

There are several syntax errors and logical errors in the program.

nlist = ["Alden", "Belle", "Charles", "Dolly", "Elle", "Falken", "Grace",

"Hacken"]
mlist = (56, 64, 23, 78, 53, 46, 98, 33]

to_find = input("Which name would you like to search for? ")

items = len(to_find)
num = 0
name_found = False
while name_found == True:
while num > items:
if nlist[num] = to_find
print("{} score {} for the test".format(nlist[num], mlist[num -
1]))
name_found = True
num = num
elif num == items - 1:
print("{} is not in the list".format(to_find))
name_found = False
num = items
else:
num = items

Open the file MARKS.py

Save the file as MYMARKS_<your name>_<index number>

10 Identify and correct the errors in the program so that it works correctly
according to the rules above. [10]

Save your program.

Task 4

You have been asked to create a daily time-in/time-out program for temporary staff.

The program should:

● Enter the name of temporary staff. There is no need to validate the name.
● Enter the time-in and time-out of the temporary staff in the format of HH:MM. An
example is 08:05
● Ensure that the inputs for time-in and time-out inputs are validated. Only allow for
inputs of 00 to 23 for HH and 00 to 59 for MM. The entry for time-out should be
later than time-in.
● Calculate the total number of minutes worked by each temporary staff
● Repeat this for a total of five temporary staff
● Calculate the average number of minutes worked rounded to 1 decimal place.
● Display this on the screen. Your output must look like this:

Enter name of staff: Andy

Time-in HH:MM for Andy: 08:05
Time-out HH:MM for Andy: 13:55
Enter name of staff: Ben
Time-in HH:MM for Ben: 07:03
Time-out HH:MM for Ben: 07:00
Invalid! Time-out HH:MM for Ben: eight o'clock
Invalid! Time-out HH:MM for Ben: 08:00
Enter name of staff: Charles
Time-in HH:MM for Charles: 10:03
Time-out HH:MM for Charles: 13:115
Invalid! Time-out HH:MM for Charles: 13:11
Enter name of staff: Dominic
Time-in HH:MM for Dominic: 09-04
Invalid! Time-in HH:MM for Dominic: 09:04
Time-out HH:MM for Dominic: 15:35
Enter name of staff: Ethan
Time-in HH:MM for Ethan: 08:42
Time-out HH:MM for Ethan: 16:55

Andy worked for 350 minutes

Ben worked for 57 minutes
Charles worked for 188 minutes
Dominic worked for 391 minutes
Ethan worked for 493 minutes

Average number of minutes worked: 295.8

11 Write your program and test that it works.

Save your program as TPSTAFF_<your name>_<index number>.py

13 Save your program as TPSTAFF2_<your name>_<index number>.py

The temporary staff are paid accordingly based on the following:

● $3 for every 15 minutes of work up to the 240th minute (4th hour)
● $4 for every subsequent 15 minutes of work after the 240th minute

Extend your program to calculate the daily wage for each staff.

Your output should look like this:

Andy will be paid $76

Ben will be paid $9
Charles will be paid $36
Dominic will be paid $88
Ethan will be paid $112

Save your program.

14 Save your program as TPSTAFF3_<your name>_<index number>.py

Extend your program to work for any number of temporary staff. The program [3]
will terminate and outputs when the user enters an empty string for the name.

Save your program.
