Question

Design a program using pseudocode to produce a report showing recommended sale prices. The program should ask the user to enter the item number, last sale date, number of items on hand, current date, item cost and the regular selling price. The program will output the item number, last sale date, days elapsed, number of item on hand, item cost, regular selling price and sales price. If the item has not been placed on sale for the last 30 days, the discount is 10% If the item has not been placed on sale for the last 31 to 60 days, the discount is 20% If the item has not been placed on sale for the last 61 to 90 days, the discount is 40% If the item has not been placed on sale in over 90 days, the discount is 50%

how can answer this question in the easiest way and simple way possible

Answer 1

PSEUDOCODE:

This program is used to produce a report showing recommended sale prices.

FUNCTION CalcSale 
  Pass In:  item_number, last_sale_date, no_items_on_hand, current_date, item_cost,
  reg_selling_price
  COMPUTE days_elapsed as current_date - last_sale_date
  IF day_elapsed is greater than 90 then
    COMPUTE sales_price as reg_selling_price * .50
  ELSE day_elapsed is greater than 60 and less than or equal to 90 then
    COMPUTE sales_price as reg_selling_price * .60
  ELSE day_elapsed is greater than 30 and less than or equal to 60 then
    COMPUTE sales_price as reg_selling_price * .80
  ELSE 
    COMPUTE sales_price as reg_selling_price * .90
  ENDIF
  Call Function: DisplayOutput with item_number, last_sale_date, days_elapsed,
  no_items_on_hand, item_cost, reg_selling_price, sales_price
Endfunction

FUNCTION DisplayOutput
  Pass In: item_number, last_sale_date, days_elapsed, no_items_on_hand, item_cost, 
  reg_selling_price, sales_price
  PRINT "Item Number: ", item_number
  PRINT "Last Sale Date: ", last_sale_date
  PRINT "Days Elapsed: ", days_elapsed
  PRINT "Number of items on hand: ", no_items_on_hand
  PRINT "Item cost: ", item_cost
  PRINT "Regular Selling Price: ", reg_selling_price
  PRINT "Sale Price: ", sales_price
Endfunction
 
FUNCTION Main
  PRINT "Enter the item number, last sale date, number of items on hand,
  current date, item cost and the regular selling price: "
