Question

Assignment: electricity calculator for households

You will create a program to calculate a household's monthly electricity bill based on the Government's current electricity subsidy scheme. The power support scheme is as follows:

The state will pay 90% of the "kilowatt price" that exceeds 70 øre per kilowatt hour (kWt)

this applies to an electricity consumption of up to 5,000 kilowatt hours per month per household/measuring point

for consumption over 5,000 kilowatt hours, the current market price is paid

On the basis of monthly consumption and the market price of electricity stated in øre, the calculator must calculate what the electricity customer must pay and how much the customer will receive in electricity subsidy. Internet rent and various fees are excluded. The program must be repeated as long as the user wishes.

Answer 1

def calculate_electricity_bill():

# Read in user input for monthly consumption and market price of electricity

consumption = float(input("Enter monthly consumption (in kilowatt hours): "))

price = float(input("Enter market price of electricity (in øre per kilowatt hour): "))

# Calculate the amount that exceeds 70 øre per kWt

excess = max(0, consumption - 5000) * price * 0.1 if price > 70 else 0

# Calculate the subsidy and the amount to be paid by the customer

subsidy = min(consumption, 5000) * max(0, 70 - price) * 0.9

payment = (consumption - min(consumption, 5000)) * price + excess

# Display the results to the user

print("Subsidy: {:.2f} kr".format(subsidy / 100))

print("Payment: {:.2f} kr".format(payment / 100))

# Keep asking the user if they want to calculate another bill

while True:

calculate_electricity_bill()

choice = input("Do you want to calculate another bill? (y/n)").lower()

if choice != 'y':

break

The program prompts the user to enter the monthly consumption and the market price of electricity, then calculates the subsidy and payment using the given formula. It then displays the results to the user and asks if they want to calculate another bill. The program will continue to run until the user chooses to stop.
