School-Based Assessment

INTRODUCTION
WestTrandTravel is a company that offers travel services in Jamaica. The agency, which
operates under the ministry of tourism and the ministry of transport, deals with the three travel
services: Plane, Ship and Car. Passengers can travel by air, land or sea around Jamaica.
Persons can use any three of the services offered. The cost is calculated before departure and is
based on the rate multiplied by the distance (km) each passenger will travel.
The following are the rates for the modes of transportation.
Transportation Rate (per km)
Plane $250
Ship $370
Car $145
Word-processing
1. After the Spreadsheet and database are completed, create a Mail Merge to advise clients
of an increase in the rates due to the rising fuel costs. Insert a table with the old rates and
new rates. The main letter should be called LettMain and the merge letters LettMerge.

Print Main letter (with merger fields) secondary/data source document 1, 3 and last merge
letters and brochure.

Web-Design
1. Design a web page for WestTrandTravel detailing the transportation offered. The
brochure should include pictures of the mode of transportation, information in table
format about rate, details about the company, hyperlinks, at least two font sizes, style etc.

Print copies of web page/s.

 SPREADSHEET
1. Create a spreadsheet with the following column headings:

PassengerID, Firstname, Surname, TravelDate, distance (km), Mode of Transport

For each mode of transportation (plane, ship and car) enter 10 to 15 passengers. Save the
spreadsheet at XLSDestination. Separate each mode of transportation by four blank
rows.

2. Insert the rate table in an appropriate section of the spreadsheet.

3. Add a column heading to each section called Cost.
4. Calculate the cost for each mode of transportation based on the rate.
5. The government has included a travel tax based on the mode of transportation. If the
mode is car, then the tax is 12% of the cost; if the mode is ship, then the tax is 14.5% of
the cost; if the mode is plane, then the tax is 17.5% of the cost. Insert a column called
Tax
6. Insert a column called Total Cost. Calculate the Total Cost (cost plus tax) for each
person and each mode of transportation.
7. Make a copy of the spreadsheet XLSDestination, called XLSDestination2.
8. One client decides to cancel his/her reservation, delete any one customer.
9. Sort the Spreadsheet by PassengerID, then by Surname.
10. Provide appropriate title and subheading for the spreadsheet.
11. In an appropriate section of the spreadsheet, extract (filter) record for clients who travel
200 km or more.
12. Create a graph to display the total cost for each client for any one mode of
transportation. The graph should be labeled appropriately.

Print the worksheets and formulae sheets as well as the graph.

 DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Tables
1. Create a database file called WestTrandTravel.
2. i) The following field from the spreadsheet into a table called Passengers.
 Passenger ID
 Firstname, Lastname
 Distance (km)
 Total cost

ii) Create a copy of passenger called PassengerRecall.

iii) In the passengers table add the fields: DateofBirth, Address1, Parish, and
Telephone Number.

iv) Sort the table in descending order by Lastname.

3. Create a table called Transportation with the following fields:

 TransID (use 3 letters and 2 digits. E.g. CAR10)
 ModeofTrans (Plane, Ship, Car)
 Rate (us the rate given in previous application)

Copy the table and name the copy –TransportationCopy

4. Create another table with Destinations with the following fields.

 PassengerID
 TransID
 TravelDate
 FinalDestination

Note:

i) Populate the table using the clients with the same PassengerID from the
Passengers table.
ii) Create appropriate relationship among the three main tables.
 Queries

5. Create a query to show the list of passengers travelled by Plane or Ship. Show:
Firstname, Lastname, TravelDate, and Mode of Transportation. Save as PlaneShip.
6. Create a query to show passengers who travelled a 150 km or more. Show: lastname,
TravelDate, Rate, Destination and Distance. Save as Over150km.
7. Create a query to increase the Total Cost by 10%. Save as UpdateTotal.
8. Create a query to calculate the count of each mode of transportation. Save as
TotalModeCost.
 Report
Create a report to display: passenger’s fullname, Mode of Transportation, distance
travelled, date of travel and total cost per passenger. The report should be sorted by
Lastname and grouped by mode of transportation. Determine the total cost for each
mode of transportation as well as the highest cost the passenger paid.

Print the Design view if tables, Tables query designs, queries and report.
 PROBLEM SOLVING AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

1. i) Develop an algorithm that will accept passengers’ name, telephone number,

mode of transportation, and distance (per km) for no more than 12 passengers.

ii) The algorithm should determine the cost based on the following rates:

Mode Rate
(per km)
Plane $350

Ship $400

Car $230

iii) The algorithm should count the number of persons travelled by each mode
of transportation.
2. Create a trace table to manually test the algorithm in part (1)
3. Using the programming language Pascal, write the programming for the
algorithm in part (1) above.

Print the Algorithm, test data, trace table, Pascal and Pascal output
