Pricing Problem
We have a network of vendors who re-sell our products. We wish to provide them an application to calculate the total cost of an order.
The app needs to give volume discounts and include sales tax.
Another system will accept input from the user, and will call this component with 3 inputs:
- number of items
- price per item
- 2-letter province/state code
The application should output the total price.
The total price is calculated by:
- calculate the total cost for the items
- deduct discount based on the quantity
- add sales tax based on the province/state code
The following tables give the discount rate and tax rates:
| Order Value | Discount Rate |
|---|---|
| $1,000 | 3% |
| $5,000 | 5% |
| $7,000 | 7% |
| $10,000 | 10% |
| Province | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| AB | 5% |
| ON | 13% |
| QC | 14.975% |
| MI | 6% |
| DE | 0% |
Example 1:
Input: 500 items, $1 per item, Ontario
Output: $565.00
Example 2:
Input: 3600 items, $2.25 per item, Michigan
Output: $7984.98
