DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Learn More High School is a private high school in Rasland and has been in existence for the past 50 years.
Since the Covid 19 Pandemic in 2020, parents have been experiencing difficulty in honoring school fee
commitments.
School fee compliance for the past 4 years has fallen dramatically and is now at an all-time low of 60%.
The Board of Directors have met and devised a strategy dubbed – FEE PAYMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
The Board Chairman has commissioned the head of the IT Department along with staff to utilize appropriate
Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Database Management and Programming Applications to design and implement
a computer-based solution to effectively execute the FEE PAYMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM plan.
SPREADSHEET MANAGEMENT
TASK A
Design a spreadsheet that will accept payment data for each grade level, lower school, upper school and sixth
form. NB: Each grade level should have at least 10 entries. All together you should have no less than 30
students and no more than 45 students
The tuition for each grade level would be:
● Grades 7 -9 : $210,000.00 per annum (Lower School)
● Grades 10 -11: $270,000.00 per annum (Upper School)
● Grades 12 – 13: $300,000.00 per annum(Sixth Form)
Payment plans available are:
● E-Full or Early Full payment plan which attracts a 10% discount on the tuition if payment is made
before the start of the school year Sept. 4th of the current school year.
Bi-Payment which is a Part Payment Plan: Where an initial payment of minimum of 50% is required
for persons to be qualified for a 5% discount on the total tuition.
Page 0 of 11
Tri-Payment which is a three-part payment Plan: This option attracts a 7.5% interest which will be
added to the tuition fee.
For each grade level you are required to:

1. Create a table in spreadsheet that records the following data for each student: ID Number, Last Name,
First Name, Gender and Grade Level.
NB. The student ID has a format as XX23PPP where XX is the student’s first and last name initial,
23 represents the year and PPP represents a three-digit number starting at 001.
2. Add a new column to determine the students school fee based on their Grade level.
3. Insert columns to:
a) determine the appropriate payment plan
b) use an appropriate function to display the percentages for discount/interest based on the payment
plan selected
c) calculate the discount or interest due for each student
d) calculate the amount to be paid for tuition
e) enter the actual amount paid by each student
f) calculate the balance for each student
4. Calculate totals for all tuition, discount/interest, actual amount paid and the balance
Save the spreadsheet as PAYMENT1.
Modify the table as follows

5. A new student O’Neil Golding has been added to the upper school population, the student’s fee was paid
in full.
6. The third student was unable to meet the requirement for full payment plan and instead selected the tri-
payment plan. Make the necessary changes.
NOTE:
 Use pre-defined functions and formulae to work out Tasks (A)
 Use of range names for your columns e.g., Grade level, Payment Plan, etc.
Save the spreadsheet as PAYMENT1 MODIFIED.

TASK B
1. Name the range of the table in task A (excluding the headings) as StudInfo.
2. Copy data last name, first name, gender, grade level, school fee, payment plan, discount, interest, Total
payment due from Task A and place in a new worksheet using an appropriate function and the range
name.
Modify the spreadsheet to show the following:
1. Sort the data by payment plan in ascending order then by last name in ascending order
2. In another section of the spreadsheet use complex criteria to extract all persons who opted for bi-payment
or tri-payment
3. With the aid of a pivot table in a new worksheet, create a summary table to show total males, total
females, total students, total payments received, Total amount owed, maximum amount owed, minimum
amount owed, Average Payments Received.
Save your spreadsheet as PAYMENT2.
4. The principal in a bid to encourage the payment of balances has decided to reduce the interest rate to
6.5%. Make the necessary changes to the spreadsheet.
TASK C
The principal has made plans to present a report to the Board Chairman who is interested in the payment plans
along with expected revenues to be collected.
You are required to:
1. Create a pie chart to illustrate the total number of students in each payment plan. Give the chart an
appropriate name and place it on a separate sheet.
2. Generate a bar graph to show the trend in fee payments for upper school students. Use of appropriate
titles and labels. Place the graph in a suitable section on the worksheet.
Page 2 of 11
1. Format the appropriate data on the spreadsheet for currency to 2 decimal places, and all other values with
the comma style to 0 decimal places.
2. All columns’ headings should be centred and embolden appearing in a slightly larger font size.
3. Apply gridlines where applicable.
Ensure to format your spreadsheet so that it looks presentable with the following guidelines:
The use of font colour, merging of title rows, borders and shading and text wrapping is allowed.
DATABASE MANAGEMENT

PROBLEM SOLVING
TASK A
1. State the problem that the algorithm will solve and explain how it will solve it.
2. Create a defining diagram (IPO chart) for the problem stated in (1) above.
3. The school board of directors have requested you to write a pseudocode algorithm which will:
a) accept students’ information such as name, ID number and grade level.
b) The algorithm should also determine the school fee based on the student’s grade level (this
information should be taken from spreadsheet).
c) The program should determine whether or not the student qualifies for a discount based on
the payment option selected. Persons who select the early full payment plan (E-FULL)
will be given a discount of 10%. Persons who select the two-part payment plan ( BI-
Payment) will be given a discount of 5%. Persons who select the three-part payment plan
(TRI-Payment) will be required to pay an interest of 7.5% on the tuition cost.
d) The ID, name and grade level of each student along with their outstanding balance should
be displayed (listed).
TASK B
4. Using data (use 5-8 records) from your spreadsheet, design and execute a trace table that will
test the correctness of the pseudocode algorithm done in step 2 above, ensuring that students
who qualify for a discount based on the payment option are determined and awarded
accordingly.
Column headers:
a) accept students’ information such as name, ID number and grade level.
b) determine the school fee based on the student’s grade level
c) determine whether or not the student qualifies for a discount
TASK C
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
4. Once your trace table is producing the correct results for the pseudocode, write a program in a
pascal language to implement the algorithm created in step 2 of problem solving. Test with
relevant values (both correct and incorrect values) and show the output.
Make sure you include comments to explain your Pascal code.
Your program should also include the following documentation:
 Your Name
 Name of Program
 Month and year of completion
 Brief description of your program
 Comments to explain the use of conditional branches, loops and/or significant
statement(s) responsible for other calculations
