.......Subject Java.....
main()
main() will ask the user for input and then call functions to do calculations. The calculations will be returned to main() where they will be printed out.
First function
Create a function named computeBill that receives on parameter. It receives the price of an item. It will then add 8.25% sales tax to this and return the total due back to main().
Second function
Create another function named computeBill that receives 2 parameters. It will receive the price of an item and the quantity ordered. It will calculated the total and then add 8.25% sales tax to that and return total due back to main().
Third function
Create a third function names computeBill that receives 3 parameters. It will receive the price of an item, the quantity ordered, and a coupon value. It will then calculate the total, then deduct the coupon amount, and add 8.25% sales tax. It will then return the total due to main().

As part of Office Depot’s cost reducing strategy, research is being conducted on its line of printers. Currently Office Depot offers 5 types of printers, each having different features. Office Depot detected that when it comes to buying a printer, customers look first for a particular printing speed (pages per minute, or ppm) and only then they look to the price to make their decision. A regression analysis is performed to determine whether printer speed is a driver of (explains) the price. The following table displays the printers, their speeds and associated prices.

Create Scanner object and DecimalFormat object
using java
1. Import Scanner class and create scanner object to read user input. Write a program to read input from keyboard for the first item with following: 2. Input name of the first item purchased and save it to local variable “article1”. 3. Input quantity purchased and save it to a local variable “quantity1”. 4. Input unit price and save it to a local variable “unit_cost1”. Write a program to read input from keyboard for the second item with following: 5. Input name of the second item purchased and save it to a local variable “article2”. 6. Input quantity purchased and save it to a local variable “quantity2”. 7. Input unit price and save it to a local variable “unit_cost2”. 8. Input amount of cash received from a client and save it to a local variable “cash”. Calculate amounts for sales receipts 9. Calculate the amount of the first item by multiplying quantity and unit cost, and save it to a local variable “price1”. 10. Calculate the amount of the second item by multiplying quantity and unit cost, and save it to a local variable “price2”. 11. Calculate the sum amount of items purchased, and save it to a local variable “sub_total”. 12. Calculate the sales tax of items purchased, and save it to a local variable “tax”. 13. Calculate the total price of items including tax, and save it to a local variable “total”. 14. Calculate the change amount, and save it to local variable “change”. Import DecimalFormat class and create DecimalFormat object to format floating points. Print sales receipt based on the calculation 16. Now, you need to represents the sales receipt on the screen with following format. –use escape sequences for formatting sales receipt

In its third year, O’Brien produced 82,000 units and sold 77,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $75 per unit.
3. Assume the company uses absorption costing and a FIFO inventory flow assumption (FIFO means first-in first-out. In other words, it assumes that the oldest units in inventory are sold first):
a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.
b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.
4. Assume the company uses absorption costing and a LIFO inventory flow assumption (LIFO means last-in first-out. In other words, it assumes that the newest units in inventory are sold first):
a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.
b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.

the government pays sellers $ 0.50 to sellers for every cup of
coffee sold.

6. Consider how medical insurance affects the quality of medical
services. Suppose the typical medical procedure costs $ 100, but
the person with medical insurance, he pays only $ 20 out of pocket.
Your insurance pays the remaining $ 80. (The Medical insurance
company recovers $ 80 for premiums, but premiums paid by a person
does not depend on the procedures that are done.)
Draw a market demand curve for medical procedures. (In its diagram, the horizontal axis must represent the number of procedures doctors.) Show the claimed amount of medical procedures if each procedure has a price of $ 100. (4 points)
In your diagram, show the quantity demanded of procedures if the Consumers only pay $ 20 per procedure. If the cost of each procedure is really $ 100, will this amount maximize the total benefit? Explain (3 points)
