The impact of COVID-19 on the citizenry has not been good especially when it comes to buying of food and the payment for the provision of essential services such as light and water bills. After lockdown, the government decided to support customers by halving the customer’s light bills. a) Write a program to request for customer’s name, previous and current meter reading (in kwh) b) Your program should categorize customers into domestic, commercial and industrial based on the quantity of electricity consumed. The categorization should follow: 1. Domestic if less than or equal to 100 kwh is consumed; 2. Industrial if more than 100kwh but less than or equal to 200kwh is consumed; 3. Commercial when more than 200kwh is consumed c) Define a method to compute the amount to be paid based on the following consumption pattern, for: 1. Domestic customers, 0.3 GHC per kwh for the first 60kwh and 0.5 GHC for the rest 2. Industrial customers, 0.5 GHC per kwh for the first 120kwh and 0.75 GHC for the rest 3. Commercial customers, 0.9 GHC for the first 201 kwh and 1.5 GHC for the rest. d) After computing the amount to be paid in “c” above, your program should compute an addition 2% (for rural electrification and street light) based on the amount to be paid and add to the amount to be paid and classify it as total amount to be paid. Your program should then display the result. Your result should include the customer’s name, quantity of electricity consumed, category and total amount to be paid. e) Explain the logic behind the code
The impact of COVID-19 on the citizenry has not been good especially when it
comes to buying of food and the payment for the provision of essential
services such as light and water bills. After lockdown, the government decided
to support customers by halving the customer’s light bills.
a) Write a
meter reading (in kwh)
b) Your program should categorize customers into domestic, commercial
and industrial based on the quantity of electricity consumed. The
categorization should follow:
1. Domestic if less than or equal to 100 kwh is consumed;
2. Industrial if more than 100kwh but less than or equal to 200kwh
is consumed;
3. Commercial when more than 200kwh is consumed
c) Define a method to compute the amount to be paid based on the
following consumption pattern, for:
1. Domestic customers, 0.3 GHC per kwh for the first 60kwh and 0.5
GHC for the rest
2. Industrial customers, 0.5 GHC per kwh for the first 120kwh and 0.75
GHC for the rest
3. Commercial customers, 0.9 GHC for the first 201 kwh and 1.5 GHC
for the rest.
d) After computing the amount to be paid in “c” above, your program
should compute an addition 2% (for rural electrification and street
light) based on the amount to be paid and add to the amount to be
paid and classify it as total amount to be paid. Your program should
then display the result. Your result should include the customer’s
name, quantity of electricity consumed, category and total amount to
be paid.
