Problem 5. An Electricity board charges the following rates mentioned in the table for the use of
electricity. All users are charged Taka 50 as a meter charge for every month. If any user wants
to change/replace his meter, he will be charged taka 2000. The monthly bill will be generated
based on
● Customer Category
● Consumed Units
● Phase
● For Category 3 and 5 along with other parameters, you need to also consider flat
rate, peak time, and off-peak time. Take input from the user, how many units were
consumed during flat rate, peak, or off-peak time.
● Meter Charge
Write a program to read the name of the user, Customer Category, Phase, number of
units consumed and print out the monthly bill.
Note that
● Phase, flat rate, peak time and off-peak time will be appeared based on the customer
category.
● The monthly bill will be calculated following the number of Days in a month

A company supplies a range of cosmetic products and gives discounts on orders as follows: For orders worth less than $50 a discount of 2% is given. For orders worth $50 and over a discount of 5% is given. These discounts are only given if the customer’s account is less than four weeks in arrears. If the account is more than eight weeks in arrears a pro forma invoice must be sent and settled before dispatch. Prepare a limited entry decision table

The company can purchase long coils of sheet metal in two different widths: 65 inches and 40 inches. The company must purchase the coils by linear foot of length: $1.20 per foot for a 64-inch coil and $1.00 per foot for a 40-inch coil. (This implies that a square foot, say, of the wider coil is less expensive.) Up to 4000 feet of the 65-inch coil is available, and up to 6000 feet of the 40-inch coil is available. There are manufacturing requirements for six different widths: 50, 45, 40, 35, 20, and 10 inches. Mayfree’s requirements are expressed as lengths of the various widths.
