Stock Transaction
Last month Joe purchased 100 shares of stock for $45.50 per share and paid his stock broker a commission that amounted to 2 percent of the total amount he paid for the stock.
Two months later Joe sold the stock for $47.92 per share and paid his stock broker another commission that amounted to 2 percent of the total amount he received for the stock.
Write a program that displays the following information:
• The amount of money Joe paid for the stock.
• The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he bought the stock.
• The amount that Joe sold the stock for.
• The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he sold the stock.
• The amount of profit or loss that Joe had after selling his stock and paying both broker commissions.

- Ron bought several acres of farm to grow and sell vegetables. Suppose that Ron wants to grow a maximum of two types of vegetables. Write a program that prompts Ron or the user to do the following: Enter the total farm area in acres. The number of vegetables (one or two) that the user wants to grow. If the user wants to grow trwo types of vegetables, then specify the portion,as a percentage, of the farm land used for each type of vegetable. Enter the seed cost, plantation cose, fertilizing cost, labor cost, for each acre. Enter vegetable selling price per acre. Output the total revenue. Output the profit/loss.arrow_forward(Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like, with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth. (Hint: Calculate the dots showing on each die with the expression dots=(int)(6.0randomnumber+1), where the random number is between 0 and 1.)arrow_forwardName Format - Use Javaarrow_forward

Write a program that calculates a theater's gross and net box office profit for a night. The program should ask for the name of the movie, and how many adult and child tickets were sold. (The price of an adult ticket is $6.00 and a child's ticket is $3.00.) It should display a report similar to the following: NOTE: Movies' name should be enclosed within the double quotation. Movie Name: "Wheels of Fury" Adult Tickets Sold: 382 Child Tickets Sold: 127 $ 2673.00 $ 2138.40 $ 534.60 Gross Box Office Profit: Amount Paid to Distributor: Net Box Office Profit: Assume the theater keeps 20 percent of the gross box office profit.arrow_forwardSoftware Sales A software company sells a package that retails for $99. Quantity discounts are given below: Quantity Discount 10–19 20% 20–49 30% 50–99 40% 100 or more 50% Design a program that asks the user to enter the number of packages purchased. The program should then display the amount of the discount (if any) and the total amount of the purchase after the discount.arrow_forward

The program should ask the user for:– The retail price of the item being purchased– The sales tax rateOnce these items have been entered, the program should calculate and display:– The sales tax for the purchase– The total of the salearrow_forward20. Random Number Guessing GameWrite a program that generates a random number in the range of 1 through 100, and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high, try again.” If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low, try again.” If the user guesses the number, the application should congratulate the user and generate a new random number so the game can start over.Optional Enhancement: Enhance the game so it keeps count of the number of guesses that the user makes. When the user correctly guesses the random number, the program should display the number of guesses.

The program help kids to practice their additions and subtraction skills. Your task is to develop a program that can achieve the same exact thing. Bear in mind the following important guidelines: - The user may choose between additions and subtractions - The user may choose the difficulty level (easy, medium, hard) - The program should display 5 questions and calculate the total score - No two questions should be the same Please enter your name: Hafedh AlShihi ************** Hello Hafedh AlShihi Welcome to our Additions / Subtractions Practice ****k********* Which operation you want to practice?
