Question

(JAVA Please)

Program 1: FICA!? What’s FICA? If you’re taking this course, chances are that you’re going to make a pretty good salary – especially 3 to 5 years after you graduate. When you look at your paycheck, one of the taxes you pay is called FICA – or Federal Insurance Contributions Act. In simplest terms, it’s what funds our Social Security and Medicare systems (and the more that you work, the more you get). Interestingly, your employer will pay the same amount for you. The current tax rate is 7.65% until you make approximately $129,000. For this assignment, we’re going to help out hourly employees. Design (pseudocode) and implement (source code) a program that asks users how much they make per hour, the number of hours they work per week, and calculates the yearly income. For the second half, the program should calculate and display the amount of FICA the user will pay for that year. You must write and use at least two functions in addition to the main function. At least one function must not have a void return type. Note, don’t forget to put the keywords “public” and “static” in front of your functions. Document your code and properly label the input prompt and the outputs as shown below.

Sample run 1

: Enter hourly wage: 10

Enter your hours per week: 40

You will earn $20800.0 per year

You will pay $1591.2 to FICA

Sample run 2:

Enter hourly wage: 40

Enter your hours per week: 60

You will earn $124800.0 per year

You will pay $9547.2 to FICA

Answer 1

Dear Student ,

As per the requirement submitted above , kindly find the below solution.

Here a new java program with name "main.java" is created, which contains following code.

main.java :

import java.util.*;//import package
public class Main
{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   //creating object of Scanner class
   Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
   //asking hourly wage
       System.out.print("Enter hourly wage:");
       int hourlyWage=sc.nextInt();//reading hourlyWage
       //asking hours per week
       System.out.print("Enter your hours per week:");
       int hoursPerWeek=sc.nextInt();//reading hours
       //call method to calaculate pay per year
       int payPerYear=calculatePay(hourlyWage,hoursPerWeek);
       //display total pay per year
       System.out.println("You will earn $"+payPerYear+" per year");
       //calling method calculate tax
       calculateTax(payPerYear);
   }
   //method to calculate income per year
   public static int calculatePay(int hourlyWage,int hoursPerWeek)
   { //return totalPay
   return 52*hoursPerWeek*hourlyWage;
   }
   //method to calculate tax
   public static void calculateTax(int pay)
   { //calculating tax
   double tax=pay*0.0765;
   //print tax
   System.out.println("You will pay $"+tax+" to FICA");
   }
}

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

Output : Compile and Run above program to get the screen as shown below

Screen 1 :main.java

input Enter hourly wage:10 Enter your hours per week:40 You will earn $20800 per year You will pay $1591.2 to FICA . . . Program finished with exit code 0 Press ENTER to exit console.

Screen 2:main.java

input Enter hourly wage:40 Enter your hours per week: 60 You will earn $124800 per year You will pay $9547.2 to FICA ..Program finished with exit code 0 Press ENTER to exit console.
