Algorithm Design and Python Implementation

Question

For this homework assignment, you are asked to design an algorithm to compute the employee's bonus using the rules shown below:

Bonus Schedule
Overtime - (2/3) * Absent	Bonus Paid
greater than 40 hours	$50
greater than 30 but less than 40 hours	$40
greater than 20 but less than 30 hours	$30
greater than 10 but less than 20 hours	$20
less than 10 hours	$10

First, design the algorithm for computing the employee's bonus (30%).

Second, draw the flow chart diagram (30%).

Third, implement the algorithm using the Python program on Jupyter Notebook. Download the codes as homework.py (40%).

Fourth, submit, algorithm, flow chart, and homework.py for credit.

Answer 1

This problem is solved and closed pending further clarifications and program specs...

the code block is only a PARTIAL solution..

Kristina, please REPOST with the answer to the 3 questions below.. the more DETAILS

the better

=============================================

The first line of this table is unclear to me...

what is meant by the statement:

overtime - (2/3)*absent

and how does that figure into the calculation of the bonus?

are 2 inputs required: one for the total hours worked and another for the hours absent?

then that result is used to calculate the bonus...

for now, here is a python function that returns the bonus per the rest of the table..

Because the design is unclear, the flowchart and algorithm is nearly impossible and

the complete source code is out of the question..

clarify what is meant by the first row of the table, so I can be of more help...

Here's the best I can do for you now:

#=====================================================

def bonus_paid(hours):

iReturn=0

if hours>=40:

iReturn=50

elif hours>=30 and hours<40:

iReturn=40

elif hours>=20 and hours<30:

iReturn=30

elif hours>=10 and hours<20:

iReturn=20

else:

iReturn=10

return(iReturn)

#change the number passed to bonus_pad() to test

bonusAmt = bonus_paid(45)

print(bonusAmt)
