Question

Complete a pseudocode for the following program specifications. Be sure to declare the constants to be used in the pseudocode. each pseudocode contains only one if statement (if-else)

2. You need a program that will calculate the electric bill for the month. Input will consist of customer name, old meter reading, and new meter reading. The output is to consist of the customer name, old meter reading, new meter reading, the kilowatt used, and the total bill. The company charges a base rate to $50.00. If a customer uses more than 300 kilowatts then they are charged the base rate plus $0.05 for each kilowatt over 300.

Answer 1

The Pseudocode for the problem is provided below, please comment if any doubts:

//This program will calculate the electric bill for the month

//input: Customer name, Old meter reading , new meter reading

//output: Customer name, Old meter reading , new meter reading, //kilowatts used, Total bill

Start

//Read the inputs

Display(“Enter the customer name:)

CustomerName = Input()

Display(“Enter the old meter reading:)

OldMeterReading = Input()

Display(“Enter the new meter reading:)

NewMeterReading = Input()

//compute the kilowatt used

KiloWattUsed= NewMeterReading- OldMeterReading

//declare the total Bill variable

totalBill=0

//If kilowatt used is less than 300

If(KiloWattUsed<=300), then

     totalBill = 50

//if kilowatt used is greater than 300

Else

     ExtraUsed= KiloWattUsed-300

     totalBill = 50+ (0.05* ExtraUsed)

//display the ouputs

Display(CustomerName)

Display(OldMeterReading)

Display(NewMeterReading)

Display(KiloWattUsed)

Display(totalBill)
