Answer to Question #266676 in Algorithms for Israel

Question

Write an algorithm that creates a program that includes an Employee class that can be used to calculate and print the take home pay for a commissioned sales employee. All Employee receives 7% of the total sales. Income tax rate is 18%. Retirement contribution is 10%. Social security tax is 6%. Write instance methods to calculate the commission, income tax and social security tax withholding amounts as well as the amount withheld for retirement. Use appropriate constants. Design an object oriented solution and write constructors. Include at least one mutator and one accessor method; provide properties for the other instance variables. Create a second class to test your design. Allow the user to enter values for the name of the employee and the sales amount for the week in the second class.

Answer 1

Declare class Employee
        Declare constant TOTAL_SALES_RATE = 0.07
        Declare constant INCOME_RATE = 0.18
        Declare constant RETIREMENT_CONTRIBUTION = 0.1
        Declare constant SOCIAL_SECURITY_TAX_RATE = 0.06
        Declare variable name
        Declare variable salesAmount
        Declare property Name
        Declare property SalesAmount
        Declare constructor Employee() 
        Declare constructor Employee(name, salesAmount)
            set name = name
            set salesAmount = salesAmount
        End constructor 
        Start function calculateCommission()
            return this.salesAmount * TOTAL_SALES_RATE
	End function
        Start function calculateIncomeTax()
            return this.salesAmount * INCOME_RATE
	End function
	Start function calculateRetirementContribution()
            return this.salesAmount * RETIREMENT_CONTRIBUTION
	End function
	Start function calculateSocialSecurityTax()
            return this.salesAmount * SOCIAL_SECURITY_TAX_RATE
	End function
	Start function calculateTotalPay()
            return this.salesAmount + calculateCommission() - calculateIncomeTax() - calculateRetirementContribution() - calculateSocialSecurityTax()
	End function
End class
Declare class Program
	Start function Main()
            Declare variable name
            Declare variable salesAmount
            Read name
            Read salesAmount
            Create Employee object employee(name, salesAmount)
	        Display "Commission (7%): "+ employee.calculateCommission()
            Display "Income tax rate (18%): "+ employee.calculateIncomeTax()
            Display "Retirement contribution (10%): "+ employee.calculateRetirementContribution()
            Display "Social security tax (6%): "+ employee.calculateSocialSecurityTax()
            Display "Total: "+ employee.calculateTotalPay()
        Stop function
End class
