Report Heading
Design a class called Heading that has data members to hold the company name and the report name. A two-parameter default constructor should allow these to be specified at the time a new Heading object is created. If the user creates a Heading object without passing any arguments, “ABC Industries” should be used as a default value for the company name and “Report” should be used as a default for the report name. The class should have member functions to print a heading in either one-line format, as shown here:
Pet Pals Payroll Report
or in four-line “boxed” format, as shown here:
Pet Pals
Payroll Report
Try to figure out a way to center the headings on the screen, based on their lengths. Demonstrate the class by writing a simple

RetailItem Class
Write a class named RetailItem that holds data about an item in a retail store. The class
should have the following fields:
description. The description field references a string object that holds a brief
description of the item.
• unitsonHand. The unitsOnHand field is an int variable that holds che number of units
currently in inventory.
price. The price field is a double that holds the item's retail price.
Write a constructor that accepts arguments for each field, appropriate mutator methods
that store values in these fields, and accessor methods that return the values in these fields.
Once you have written the class, write a separate program that creates three RetaillItem
objects and stores the following data in them:
Description
Units on Hand
Price
Item #1

Be sure your Inventory class defines the private data fields, at least one constructor, accessor and mutator methods, method overloading (to handle the data coming into the Inventory class as either a String and/or int/float), as well as all of the methods (methods to calculate) to manipulate the Inventory class (object). The data fields in the Inventory class include the inventory product number (int), inventory product description (String), inventory product price (float), inventory quantity on hand (int), inventory quantity on order (int), and inventory quantity sold (int).
