Algorithm Development Question 1: A simple algorithm + small programming task [ 40 marks ]
In Australia, a taxpayer's income is taxed progressively. Broadly, this means that as you earn more income your average tax rate rises.
Progressive taxation means that higher income earners pay more tax than lower income earners. This is achieved by taxing a range of income brackets as a set percentage or cents in the dollar. These income brackets are called tax brackets. The following table details the tax brackets of our progressive tax system for the financial years ending 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2006.
The rate of tax within these brackets is called the marginal rate of tax. For Australian residents, the first tax bracket, from $0 to $6,000, has a zero marginal rate of tax. Tax is applied to every dollar after this figure. This tax-free amount is called the tax-free threshold.
Australian Income Tax rates 2005-06 Taxable income Tax on this income
$0 – $6,000 Nil
$6,001 – $21,600 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$21,601 - $63,000 $2,340 plus 30c for each $1 over $21,600
$63,001 – $95,000 $14,760 plus 42c for each $1 over $63,000
Over $95,000 $28,200 plus 47c for each $1 over $95,000
You have been employed by the Australian Tax Office to develop a simple tax calculator that determines the amount of tax a worker must pay for 2005-2006 financial year given their income. The simple tax calculator must allow the user can enter the amount of money they earn for the year, and display the tax payable. Chose some test data for your simple tax calculator to demonstrate that your calculator works correctly. a) Produce a defining diagram for this problem
[4 marks] b) Write an algorithm which asks for the necessary information, performs necessary calculations,
and generates appropriate outputs. Include steps that display information or messages to the user.
[5 marks] c) Perform a desk check of your algorithm using test data to test all the different paths in your
algorithm. State your test data sets, and the expected outcomes before proceeding with the desk check.
[Test data (2 m), Expected results (1m), Desk check (3m) = 6 marks]

Algorithm Development Question 1: A simple algorithm + small programming task [ 40 marks ]
In Australia, a taxpayer's income is taxed progressively. Broadly, this means that as you earn more income your average tax rate rises.
Progressive taxation means that higher income earners pay more tax than lower income earners. This is achieved by taxing a range of income brackets as a set percentage or cents in the dollar. These income brackets are called tax brackets. The following table details the tax brackets of our progressive tax system for the financial years ending 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2006.
The rate of tax within these brackets is called the marginal rate of tax. For Australian residents, the first tax bracket, from $0 to $6,000, has a zero marginal rate of tax. Tax is applied to every dollar after this figure. This tax-free amount is called the tax-free threshold.
Australian Income Tax rates 2005-06 Taxable income Tax on this income
$0 – $6,000 Nil
$6,001 – $21,600 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$21,601 - $63,000 $2,340 plus 30c for each $1 over $21,600
$63,001 – $95,000 $14,760 plus 42c for each $1 over $63,000
Over $95,000 $28,200 plus 47c for each $1 over $95,000
You have been employed by the Australian Tax Office to develop a simple tax calculator that determines the amount of tax a worker must pay for 2005-2006 financial year given their income. The simple tax calculator must allow the user can enter the amount of money they earn for the year, and display the tax payable. Chose some test data for your simple tax calculator to demonstrate that your calculator works correctly. a) Produce a defining diagram for this problem
[4 marks] b) Write an algorithm which asks for the necessary information, performs necessary calculations,
and generates appropriate outputs. Include steps that display information or messages to the user.

Progressive taxation means that higher income earners pay more tax than lower income earners. This is achieved by taxing a range of income brackets as a set percentage or cents in the dollar. These income brackets are called tax brackets. The following table details the tax brackets of our progressive tax system for the financial years ending 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2006.
The rate of tax within these brackets is called the marginal rate of tax. For Australian residents, the first tax bracket, from $0 to $6,000, has a zero marginal rate of tax. Tax is applied to every dollar after this figure. This tax-free amount is called the tax-free threshold.
Australian Income Tax rates 2005-06 Taxable income Tax on this income
$0 – $6,000 Nil
$6,001 – $21,600 15c for each $1 over $6,000
$21,601 - $63,000 $2,340 plus 30c for each $1 over $21,600
$63,001 – $95,000 $14,760 plus 42c for each $1 over $63,000
Over $95,000 $28,200 plus 47c for each $1 over $95,000
You have been employed by the Australian Tax Office to develop a simple tax calculator that determines the amount of tax a worker must pay for 2005-2006 financial year given their income. The simple tax calculator must allow the user can enter the amount of money they earn for the year, and display the tax payable. Chose some test data for your simple tax calculator to demonstrate that your calculator works correctly. a) Produce a defining diagram for this problem
[4 marks] b) Write an algorithm which asks for the necessary information, performs necessary calculations,
and generates appropriate outputs. Include steps that display information or messages to the user.
[5 marks] c) Perform a desk check of your algorithm using test data to test all the different paths in your
algorithm. State your test data sets, and the expected outcomes before proceeding with the desk check.

Assignment 1: Developing Simple Programs
Due date: Week 5, commencing 15 August, in your tutorial. Assessment value: 10% of the total marks for this unit Total marks: 100 Assignment Submission Instructions: Attach a SIMS “INDIVIDUAL assignment coversheet” to the front of your assignment. This can be downloaded from http://www.sims.monash.edu.au/resources/assessment.html
• The answers for question 1 parts a-d should be written in Microsoft Word and submitted in ha rdcopy form.
• The answers for questions requiring a user interface and VB.NET code will need to be submitted in hardcopy and also compressed into a single zip file. Your tutor will tell you how to submit these files for marking. Submit the entire solution folder hierarchy (as a single zip file). The executable file (ending with .exe) does not need to be submitted.
Conventions Used
• When writing algorithms in this unit, you are expected to follow the conventions presented in Robertson.
• See Robertson, 3.3 for explanation of desk checking. • When writing TOE charts in this unit, you are expected to follow the conventions
presented in Zak. • Follow the standards presented in Zak with respect to programming standards, ie:
object names, variable names, indentation,

Algorithm Development Question 1: A simple algorithm + small programming task [ 40 marks ]
In Australia, a taxpayer's income is taxed progressively. Broadly, this means that as you earn more income your average tax rate rises.
Progressive taxation means that higher income earners pay more tax than lower income earners. This is achieved by taxing a range of income brackets as a set percentage or cents in the dollar. These income brackets are called tax brackets. The following table details the tax brackets of our progressive tax system for the financial years ending 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2006.
The rate of tax within these brackets is called the marginal rate of tax. For Australian residents, the first tax bracket, from $0 to $6,000, has a zero marginal rate of tax. Tax is applied to every dollar after this figure. This tax-free amount is called the tax-free threshold.
