parameters such as the gross salary as well as the total savings amount. Name your program
Tax Calculator. The tax is to be calculated as follows:

(a) The savings is deducted from the gross income to calculate the taxable income.
Maximum deduction of savings can be N$ 100,000, even though the amount can
be more than this. (10 Marks)
(b) For up to N$100,000 as taxable income the tax is 0 (Slab 0); beyond 100,000 to
200,000 tax is 10% of the difference above 100,000 (Slab 1); beyond 200,000 up
to N$500,000 the net tax is the tax calculated from Slab 0 and Slab 1 and then
20% of the taxable income exceeding 200,000 (Slab 2); if its more than
N$500,000, then the tax is tax from Slab 0, Slab 1, Slab 2 and 30% of the amount
exceeding N$500,000.

Question Two

Mr. Ndjiku is a Grade 5 Teacher at People Primary School (PPS). He has been teaching his
pupils about time conversion in his Mathematic class. On one given day, he experienced a
problem with some learners that were struggling to understand the concept of time
conversion. As a Third year programming student, you are hired to help Mr. Ndjiku by
designing and implementing an application that will convert time in second value in terms of
Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds, and the converted value should be displayed in the label
named SecLabel. Your program is to be saved as TimeConversion.
The program should be tested with the following input:
1.Input :100seconds,Output: 1 minute 40 seconds
2.input:10000 seconds, Output:1 day 3 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds
Note:
1 Minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 3600 seconds
1 day = 86400 seconds
NB: Use Try..catch while assigning values from the textboxes in variables
