You are a bank manager and you are helping a new bank teller
understand the kind of accounts the bank offers. If a customer comes
in asking to open a new savings account, the teller needs to ask what
kind of account--passbook savings or certificate of deposit--the
customer would like to open. Remind the customer that all accounts
with our bank are insured by the FDIC. You should explain that all
accounts earn some interest; a savings account’s interest is
compounded monthly. You should assign a unique account number
after accepting the customer’s initial deposit. If the customer chooses
to receive statements electronically, the system will send an e-mail
with a monthly statement; if the customer chooses not to, then a paper
statement will be sent by mail quarterly.
If savings account is a class, give an example of each of the
following as it relates to that savings account. Explain your

Instructions:
Resource:
• PRG 420 Week One Analyze Assignment Text File
Analyzing Java™ code--that is, reading and predicting the outcome
of
Java™ code, given one or more inputs--is an essential skill. The
ability
to analyze code allows you to learn from example code and tutorials.
It
also allows you to write and debug your own Java™ code.
For this assignment, you will be analyzing the Java™ code in the
linked

text file.
Carefully read through the code line by line, then answer the
following
questions in a Microsoft® Word document:
1. What syntax signals a Java™ comment? (In other words, what
symbol(s) tell the Java™ compiler not to process certain text?)
2. Type the line(s) of code that accept user input.
3. Type the line(s) of code that process user input.
4. Type the line(s) of code that produce output.
5. Type the result this program would produce if a user, when
prompted, responded by typing "everyone" and then hit Enter.
prompted, responded by typing in "Mickey Mouse" and hit Enter.
prompted, responded by typing "Benjamin Franklin" and hit Enter.
Submit your completed Word document using the Assignment Files

Netbeans Project (annual compensation)

Write a Java™ application using NetBeans™ Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) that calculates the total annual
compensation of a salesperson. Consider the following factors:
A salesperson will earn a fixed salary of $50,000
A salesperson will also receive a commission as a sales incentive.
Commission is a percentage of the salesperson’s annual sales. The
current commission is 5 % of total sales.
The total annual compensation is the fixed salary plus the commission
earned.
The Java™ application should meet these technical requirements:
The application should have at least one class, in addition to the
application’s controlling class (a controlling class is where the main
function resides).
There should be proper documentation in the source code.
The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it
should display the total annual compensation.

Netbeans Project (annual compensation with
commission)
Modify the Week Two Java™ application using Java™ NetBeans™
IDE to meet these additional and changed business requirements:

The company has recently changed its total annual compensation
policy to improve sales.
A salesperson will continue to earn a fixed salary of $50,000. The
current sales target for every salesperson is $120,000.
The sales incentive will only start when 80% of the sales target is met.
The current commission is 5% of total sales.
If a salesperson exceeds the sales target, the commission will
increase based on an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor is
1.5.
The application should ask the user to enter annual sales, and it
should display the total annual compensation.
The application should also display a table of potential total annual
compensation that the salesperson could have earned, in $5000
increments above the salesperson’s annual sales, until it reaches 50%
above the salesperson’s annual sales.
Sample Table: Assuming a total annual sales of $100,000, the table
would look like this:
Total Sales
Total Compensation

section of another team member’s Week Four program.
Submit the following deliverables for this Learning Team assignment:
