Financial Assistance Application
Create the Financial Assistance Application. A non-governmental organization
needs your application to calculate the amount of financial assistance for needy
families. The formula is as follows:
• If the annual household income is between $30,000 and $40,000 and the house-
hold has at least three children, the amount is $1,000 per child.
• If the annual household income is between $20,000 and $30,000 and the house-
hold has at least two children, the amount is $1,500 per child.
• If the annual household income is less than $20,000, the amount is $2,000 per
child.
Implement a function for this computation. The program asks for the household
income and number of children for each applicant, printing the amount returned
by your function. Use -1 as a sentinel value for the input. The program output
should be formatted as shown in the Sample Run.
Note: You must use at least one function in your code.

- Requirements You are required to write a program that calculates and prints the bill for Viti Telephone Company. The company offers two types of services: regular and premium: its rate very depending on the type of service. The rates are computed as follows: Regular Service $10.00 plus first 50 minutes are free. Charges for over 50 minutes are $0.20 per minute Premium Service $25.00 plus Calls made from 6.00 AM to 6.00 PM, the first 75 minutes are free and charges over 75 minutes are $0.10 per minute. For Calls made from 6.00 PM to 6.00 AM, the first 100 minutes are free and charges for over 100 minutes are $0.05 per minute. Your program should prompt user to enter an account number, a service code (type char), and the number of minutes service was used. A service code of r or R means regular service; a service code p or P means premium service. Treat any other character as an error. Your program should output the account number, type of service number of minutes the telephone was used…arrow_forward1. Lulu Hypermarket wants you to create a program that they can use to compute for the discounts to be given to Lulu card holders. The program should read the user to enter the name of the customer and the number of purchases. The number of purchases will serve as the counter for the number of times purchase amount will be entered by the user. The program should be able to count the number of purchase amounts in each of the following ranges: • 1 to 30 • Above 30 The program should also compute the sum of all the purchase amounts. A discount is computed based on the sum of the purchase amount. If the sum of the purchase is more than 500, the discount is 2.5% of the sum; otherwise, the discount is 5% of the sum. Display an appropriate output.

- GPA Calculator Students are concerned about their GPA. They need to calculate it accurately every semester to monitor their progress. Develop a GPA calculator that follows the AOU regulations (AOU-OU Grade Scale) using C# programming language. The application asks the student to enter his numeric grade of each course and the course's credit hours. Accordingly, the application calculates the student's GPA after converting the numeric grade to letter grade. The GPA calculation should produce floating-point results. Display the results rounded to the nearest hundredth. You should store the letter grades of all student's courses in an array. The final grade of the student should be also calculated.
