A. ESSAY TEST [80]
SCENARIO 1
Questions Group 1, 2 and 3

The ICT design engineer and manager for West Java Railways (WJR) have different networks to manage including
Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). In order that staff at different stations can
communicate, WJR makes use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN). When the networks were set up consideration had
to be given to the ways that computers would communicate with the servers.
WJR has a website which provides information that customers might find useful when planning a journey.
Customers can also use this website to book tickets.

B. ESSAY [20]

1. An algorithm is to be created to calculate the pay for the workers in a Telco’s services.
The name of each worker is input with the number of hours worked that week. Workers are paid in Rupiah
and cents, a Rupiah being local currency.
100 cents = 1 rupiah
Each worker is paid 28.5 rupiah per hour. If a worker earns more than 800 Rupiah in a week they must pay
20% of anything over 80 Rupiah in tax. Their pay is then reduced by that amount.
a. Produce the algorithms in FC (Flow Chart) or;
b. Produce PC (Pseudo Code),
for the software which will output for each worker:
 Their name;
 Their pay for the week;
 The tax they must pay;
 The algorithm will continue to calculate the pay of workers until the value 'xxx' is input as the
worker's name.
The number of workers should be output at the end of the algorithm.
