Task 1

A maintenance company uses spreadsheet software to record details of its completed

jobs. There are five different job categories provided by the company. For each type
of job, the total cost comprises a deposit amount and hourly cost.

You are required to finish setting up the spreadsheet to calculate the total cost of the
jobs.

Open the file COMPANY.xlsx. You will see the following data.

Save the file as JOBS_<class>_<index number>_<your name>.xlsx

1 In cells E4 to E12, enter a formula that uses an appropriate function to extract [2]
the last 2 letters of the corresponding Job ID. The Job ID is a 11 character text.

2 In cells F4 to F12, enter a formula that uses an appropriate function to search for [2]
the Deposit in the Job Code Fees table.

3 In cells I4 to I12, enter a formula to calculate the Hourly Cost, which is the [2]
product of Rate Per Hour by Hours Required. In cells J4 to J12, enter a formula
to calculate Total Cost, which is the Deposit added to the Hourly Cost.

4 Format the cells J4 to J12 to automatically highlight those cells whose total cost [1]
is more than $400 with a red background.

5 In cells J13, enter an appropriate function to calculate the total earned. [1]

6 In cell G13, enter an appropriate function to find the second highest [2]
hourly rate.

Save and close your file.

Task 2

A bank stores the names and deposits of its customers into two lists. The following program
consists of five customer names and their corresponding deposits. It prints the names and
deposits of the customers whose name begins with the letter ‘J’.

names = ['Joy', 'Mary', 'John', 'Dean', 'Siva']

deposits = [540.35, 525.60, 539.50, 500.05, 570.95]

for i in range(len(names)):
if names[i].startswith('J'):
print("Customer name is {}, Deposit amount is {}".format(names[i], deposits[i]))

Open the file DEPOSITS.py

Save the file as MYDEPOSITS_<class>_<index number>_<your name>.py

7 Edit the program so that it prints out the names and deposits of the customers [1]
whose names begin with the letter ‘D’. Do not print those beginning with the letter
‘J’.

8 The program will then calculate the total deposit and average deposit of these
five accounts.

(a) Edit the program to: [2]

• calculate the total amount of deposit

• output the message "The total deposit is: ", with the total amount of
deposit.

Save your program.

(b) Edit the program to: [3]

• calculate the average deposit rounded to the nearest whole number.

• output the message "The average deposit amount is: ", with the
average deposit amount.

Save your program.

(c) Edit the program to display the name of customers whose names end with [4]
the letter ‘n’ and length of name is equal to 4.

Save your program.

Task 3

The following program calculates the amount of cashback discount that a customer receives
based on the following rules applied to the amount of expenditure in a quarter:

● A customer receives a 5 percent cashback for expenditure of $500 or more, or total

accumulated rewards are 1000 points or more
● A customer receives a 3 percent cashback for expenditure of $300 or more, and total
accumulated rewards are 700 points or more
● A customer receives a 2 percent cashback for expenditure of $200 or more

The expenditures and rewards are whole numbers. The program ends when the user enters
‘N’ for no further customer input.

There are several syntax errors and logical errors in the program.

customers = False
count = 10

while customers == True:

exp = int(input("Enter expenditure for quarter: "))
rewards = int(input("Enter rewards accumulated: "))

if exp >= 500 and rewards >= 1000:

print("Customer receives 5 percent cashback.")
count = count += 1
elif exp > 300 and rewards >= 700:
print("Customer receives 3 percent cashback.")
elif exp >= 200:
print("Customer receives 2 percent cashback.")
else
print("No cashback discount."")

more_cust = int(input("Any more customers? Type Y or N: "))

if more_cust == 'Y':
customers = False
else:
customers = False

print("Total customers who qualify for 5 percent cashback are: " + count)

Task 4

You have been asked to create a word guessing game. A user enters a word of six or
fewer letters for guessing. The user has six chances to guess all letters of the word.

Assume that all inputs and outputs are in lowercase letters. There is no need to validate
for case.

The program must:

• Output at the start of the game "You have 6 chances to guess a word."

• Allow user to input a word with six or fewer letters for guessing. There must be
validation to check that the input word does not have more than six letters.

• Create and output a new list with length equal to that of the word. This list will be
updated later if letters are found. For a six letter word like ‘banana’, the list looks
like ['-', '-', '-', '-', '-', '-'].

• Allow user to have up to six chances to input a letter at a time. Validation of the
letter is not needed. Assume that the input is a single lowercase letter.

• Check if the input letter is found in the word. If the letter is found, output "Letter
found in word." If the letter is not found, output "Letter not found."

10 Write your program and test that it works. [10]

Save your program as WORDGUESS1_<class>_<index number>_<your

name>.py

11 When your program is complete, test it for the following: [2]

• Test 1 – Input the word ‘banana’, then letters ‘g’, ‘o’, ‘b’, ‘a’, ‘n’ in that order.

• Test 2 – Input the word ‘mangosteen’, then word ‘mango’, then letters ‘m’,
‘a’, ‘n’, ‘g’, ‘o’ in that order

Take a screenshot of:

• Test 1. Save this screenshot as TEST1_<class>_<index number>_<your
name>
• Test 2. Save this screenshot as TEST2_<class>_<index number>_<your
name>

Save your files either in .png or .jpg format.

12 Save your program as WORDGUESS2_<class>_<index number>_<your [8]

name>.py. Extend your program to:

• Create a new list to store the index(es) of all occurrences of the letter if found
in the word. Using the index(es), update the first list to output the letters that
have been guessed correctly. For a six letter word like ‘banana’ and the input
letter is ‘a’, the list looks like ['-', 'a', '-', 'a', '-', 'a'].

• If all six chances were used up, output "Game over. All chances used!".
 6

• If all letters have been correctly guessed, output “You win!” and the program
must end.
