ASSESSMENT
Introduction
The Boutique is a prominent clothes store in the town of Ocho Rios in St. Ann in the island of
Jamaica. The store has been using the manual method of operations in all areas of their business.
This year the company’s management team has decided to computerize its operations for the
efficient running of the business. The computer system they purchased came with general purpose
software that has a word processor, spreadsheet and database management components.
As a test, the owner of the store would like to use the software to carry out the following tasks
for the month of September:
1. Generation of a Flyer that informs the public about clothes store and details of the
Christmas Sale.
2. Analysis of the salary details of the employees for the month.
3. Storage of personal information of clients and their purchase details.
4. Preparation of invoice letters for the client with outstanding balances.
You are in charge of setting up the word processing, spreadsheet and database templates that
will permit all employees of the store to efficiently carry out these activities.
Terms
Gross Income / Gross Pay is calculated by the following formula: Basic Salary +
Allowances (remember Sales Commission is also considered an allowance)
Spreadsheet
The spreadsheet package will be used to create a model that will allow the owner of the
store to manipulate and monitor the monthly salary details of the employees. Your work
should be limited to only one (1) workbook.
Currently, there are 15 employees in the Boutique. There are THREE (3) categories of
employees and EACH category attracts a different basic monthly salary. There are SIX
(6) supervisors, ONE (1) Manager at the store and SALES STAFF. The categories of
employment with current rates are given in the table below. This table should be on a
separate worksheet named Keys.
There are allowances and deductions in the employee’s salaries. The allowances are
Communication Allowance, Travel Allowance and Entertainment Allowance and the
deductions are Education Tax, National House Trust Tax, and National Insurance Scheme
Tax which is calculated based on the basic salary. There is also an Income Tax which
is only paid if the employee earns more than $25,000.00 in gross pay. The Travel
Allowance and Entertainment Allowance are available to the Manager and Supervisors
ONLY. The rate of payments of these allowances and deductions also need to be kept on
the worksheet with the basic salary rate.
(b). Add column in an appropriate place to calculate the total allowances and total
deduction.
(c). Add a column at an appropriate place to store the total sales made by employees. Enter
a total sales amount for each employee between $1000.00 and $50,000.00.
(d). Add a column to calculate the Sales Commission at a rate of 5% of the total sales
for each employee.
(e). Add columns to include the Gross Income and Net Income.
Task B
2. The fifth employee on your list got a new job and he resigned from his post at THE
BOUTIQUE. Remove him from the spreadsheet.
3. Sort the worksheet by category (manager, supervisor then sales staff), then by last name
then by first name. Save the spreadsheet as IncomeSheet2.
5. Create a chart to compare the total allowances and total deductions paid by the store
for the month of September.
Database Management
Currently, there are 5 clients on record. This data must be stored in a table called
CLIENTS.
On record are a set of purchases and payments from the first week of
Septembers. These records must be stored in a separate table called
PURCHASES. Ensure that this table has fields to store the amount
due for that purchase as well as the amount paid.
Find below also a list of most items sold by the store. The records should be in
a separate table with an appropriate name. The table with the items sold
must list the item description and an appropriate field for identifying
and link the items to other record in the database.

1. Set up a database with THREE (3) tables with appropriate field names, data types and
field sizes.
3. Add 10 clients. Ensure that for each client you also store an address.
4. Add at least 20 more purchase records. All purchase records must have a date in
September.
a. List the ID, Full Name, Address and Telephone Number of clients whose
surname begin with “L”. Save it as qry_surname_L.
b. List all clients with outstanding balances. This query should show the
fullname, address, and total amount outstanding [total amount
outstanding= SUM (amount due – amount paid) ]. Name this query
qry_client_balance.
d. Prepare a report listing the items sorted alphabetically and showing the
number of each item sold. Group the report by the first word of the item
description. It should have the following title: “Products List” and the
sported should be saved with an appropriate name.
Word-processing
The owner of The Boutique plans to have a Christmas Sale.
The Supervisor of the store also would like to send an invoice to clients who have
outstanding balances informing them of the total they have outstanding.
1. Create a flyer to inform the public about the variety of clothes available at the store and
also about the Christmas Sale. The text in the brochure must be fully justified with 1.5
IT SBA 1516 Page 8 of 9
line spacing. Use columns to create a leaflet that can be folded. Use appropriate
margins and layouts so that folding of the brochure can be easily done. Be creative!!
2. Prepare a letterhead with the name, address and logo of the store. The logo can be a
suitable graphic. Using mail merge facilities, prepare a letter on the letterhead for the
clients members who have outstanding amounts.
Problem-Solving
You are required to:
2. Develop an algorithm pseudo-code or flowchart that will accept the names of each sales
staff members and their total sales for the month. The algorithm must calculate the
commission at 5 % of their total sales amount. It should display only the name, total
sales and commission of the staff member with the highest commission.
3. Design a trace table with the column headings corresponding to each variable name and
one column for ‘Output’. Using the trace table test the algorithm with the details for 5
employees.
Program Implementation
4. Using the programming language Pascal, write program code to implement the
algorithm in the task above.

1. AIM
To provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their problem solving and
programming skills as well as their ability to use productivity tools effectively in:
(i) entering, manipulating and presenting text data;
(ii) simulating a worksheet;
(iii) entering data, performing simple analysis on data and presenting data using a
database management tool.
2. ASSIGNMENT
The School Based Assessment consists of one practical project consisting of four related
components, prepared and marked by the teacher in accordance with CXC guidelines.
The components will test Problem Solving and Programming as well as the application of
processes involved in the use of Database Management, Spreadsheets and Word-
processing. The four components will therefore cover the Specific Objectives in Sections 2, 3,
6, 7 and 8.
