Answer:
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PayCheck {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create an object of the Scanner class to allow for user's input
// via the keyboard.
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
// Prompt the user to enter employee's name
System.out.println("Please enter employee's name");
// Store the user's input in a String variable called name.
String name = input.nextLine();
// Prompt the user to enter the gross amount
System.out.println("Please enter the gross amount (in dollars)");
// Store the user's input in a double variable called amount.
double amount = input.nextDouble();
// Calculate the Federal Income Tax
double FIT = 15 / 100.0 * amount;
// Calculate the State Tax
double ST = 3.5 / 100.0 * amount;
// Calculate the Social Security Tax
double SST = 5.75 / 100.0 * amount;
// Calculate the Medicare/Medicaid Tax
double MT = 2.75 / 100.0 * amount;
// Calculate Pension Plan
double PP = 5 / 100.0 * amount;
// Calculate the Health Insurance;
double HI = 75.00;
// Calculate total pay to be deducted from actual pay
double TOTAL = FIT + ST + SST + MT + PP + HI;
// Calculate the net pay
double NETPAY = amount - TOTAL;
// Format the result using String.format() to print out the details of
// the employee plus the amount paid in two decimal places
// Store the result of the formatting in a String variable, paydetails.
String paydetails = String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Gross Amount: $", amount);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Federal Tax: $", FIT);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "State Tax: $", ST);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Social Security Tax: $", SST);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Medicare/Medicaid Tax: $", MT);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Pension Plan: $", PP);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Health Insurance: $", HI);
paydetails += String.format("%s%.2f\n", "Net Pay: $", NETPAY);
// Print out the result to the console
System.out.println(paydetails);
// You could also write the output to a file named document4.txt
// using the FileWriter class.
try {
FileWriter fwriter = new FileWriter("document4.txt");
fwriter.write(paydetails);
System.out.println("Written to file");
fwriter.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
