You will again use an object to store data. Looping statements will be used to run some of the statements repeatedly. WARNING: Again, this assignment will be more challenging than the previous assignments, so make sure to start early and allocate enough time to complete it, including time you might need to seek any necessary help. Problem Summary and Equations Money can be invested, in order to earn interest. Compound interest is interest added to the initial deposit, so that the added interest also earns interest from then on. This addition of interest to the principal is called compounding. But different investments compound interest at different time. Some compound interest daily, some monthly, some quarterly and some annually. For example: Compounding of an initial investment of 1000.00 yearly for 3 years at 4% annual interest. Calculate 4% of the current balance at the end of each year: End of year 1: 1000.00 + 40.00 = 1040.00 End of year 2: 1040.00 + 41.60 = 1081.60 End of year 3: 1081.60 + 43.26 = 1124.86 Total earnings = 124.86 Compounding of an initial investment of 1000.00 quarterly for 3 years at 4% annual interest. Calculate 1/4th of 4% of the current balance (i.e. 1%) at the end of each quarter: End of quarter 1 in year 1: 1000.00 + 10.00 = 1010.00 End of quarter 2 in year 1: 1010.00 + 10.10 = 1020.10 End of quarter 3 in year 1: 1020.10 + 10.20 = 1030.30 End of quarter 4 in year 1: 1030.30 + 10.30 = 1040.60 End of quarter 1 in year 2: 1040.60 + 10.41 = 1051.01 End of quarter 2 in year 2: 1051.01 + 10.51 = 1061.52 End of quarter 3 in year 2: 1061.52 + 10.62 = 1072.14 End of quarter 4 in year 2: 1072.14 + 10.72 = 1082.86 End of quarter 1 in year 3: 1082.86 + 10.83 = 1093.69 End of quarter 2 in year 3: 1093.69 + 10.94 = 1104.63 End of quarter 3 in year 3: 1104.63 + 11.05 = 1115.68 End of quarter 4 in year 3: 1115.68 + 11.16 = 1126.84 Total earnings = 126.84 Note that the final values computed by a program may be off by a penny or two, because the calculated interest is not actually rounded to 2 decimal places internally. You will write a program to compare the earnings from annually compounded interest (i.e. figured and added to the balance annually) to earnings from interest that is compounded quarterly, monthly, or daily. ©Regis University, All Rights Reserved Unauthorized distribution (including uploading to any non-Regis Internet website) violates copyright law Overview of Program This program will contain two classes, in two separate files within your project:  An Investment class to define the data fields and methods for an Investment object, containing: o Six data fields o A constructor method to create an Investment object (with parameters). o Two getter methods to get two data field values. o A method to calculate the investment results: the end balance and earnings. o A method to display the conditions and results for an investment.  The main InvestmentComparison class, minimally containing: o Four static methods to read and validate user input. o A main method to display the program description, read the inputs from the user, create Investment objects, call other methods for calculating and displaying the results, and finally display a comparison analysis. Reminder: CS210 Coding Standards state:  The break statement may be used only to terminate a series of statements within a case of the switch statement. The break statement may never be used to terminate a loop.  The continue statement may not be used anywhere within your code.  A return statement will never be used to exit a loop.  An exit() call will never be used to exit a loop. The only exception to this rule is when an exit() statement is used to end a program due to an error that would prevent its execution. Program Requirements NOTE: You must implement all three types of loops within this program (for, do-while, and while). 1. Create a new project called LastnameAssn6. 2. Within the project, create an Investment class with the following data fields: o initial investment (dollars and cents) o annual interest rate (percent, e.g. 3.5) o term (amount of time money will be invested) in whole years o compounding type (char ‘A’, ‘Q’, ‘M’, or ‘D’) o balance (dollars and cents) o earnings (dollars and cents) Within the Investment class:  Add a constructor with 4 parameters to instantiate an Investment type object and initialize all of the data fields. o Set the first 4 data fields directly, using the passed in parameter values. o Set the balance data field to the same value as the initial investment. o Set the earnings data field to 0. ©Regis University, All Rights Reserved Unauthorized distribution (including uploading to any non-Regis Internet website) violates copyright law  Add a getter for the earnings data field that returns the earnings value.  Add a convertCompoundingTypeToString instance method. The method will: o Return a String equivalent for the compounding type character data field (i.e. “Annual”, “Quarterly”, “Monthly”, or “Daily”).  Add an instance method to calculate the investment results for an Investment object. o Create a new variable to hold the converted annual interest rate -- a rate that can be used in math formulas (e.g. 3.5% would convert to 0.035). o Decide which compounding rate to use by examining the compounding rate data field, and set up any necessary variables accordingly. o Use a for loop to compute the end balance. (NOTE: You must use a loop, NOT banking interest formulas). Interest earned must be calculated and added to the balance for each compounding period.  Calculate annual interest on the current balance using the annual interest rate. Add interest to the balance every year.  Calculate quarterly interest on the current balance using a quarterly interest rate (1/4th of the annual interest rate). Add interest to the balance every quarter for 4 quarters per year.  Calculate monthly interest on the current balance using a monthly interest rate (1/12th of the annual interest rate). Add interest to the balance every month for 12 months per year.  Calculate daily interest on the current balance using a daily interest rate (1/365th of the annual interest rate). Add interest to the balance every day for 365 days per year. NOTE: You should not have separate loops for each different compounding period. Instead, figure out how to modify the loop variables to work for whichever period you are compounding. o After calculating the end balance, store the correct value into the earnings data field. The earnings for an investment are the difference between the end balance and the initial investment.  Add an instance method to display the investment results for an Investment object, as shown: o Display a blank line before the results. o Display a descriptive word (Annual, Quarterly, Monthly or Daily) in the description on the top line. HINT: Use your convert method. o Display dollar figures to 2 decimal places, and interest rates to 3 decimal places. o Dollar signs and decimal points of the dollar values should line up. Results for Annual compounding: For an initial investment of $ 5555.55 after 5 years at 5.500% the ending balance is $ 7260.88 for earnings of $ 1705.33 ©Regis University, All Rights Reserved Unauthorized distribution (including uploading to any non-Regis Internet website) violates copyright law 2. Create an InvestmentComparison class that will contain a main method. Within the InvestmentComparison class:  Create three separate static methods to read and return a valid value for each user input (initial investment, annual interest rate, and term years). o Error check each of the above items is valid, using loops.  All three values must be at least 1. Define this amount as a class level constant.  Initial investment cannot be more than $500,000.00.  Annual interest cannot be more than 30%.  Terms can be up to (and including) 75 years. o Valid value upper limits for all items should be stored as local constant values. o For each item, within its method, loop and re-prompt the user until a valid value is entered. All error messages will use the constants to tell the user what values are valid.  Create another static method to read and return a valid compounding type choice from the user. o Let the user choose from a menu which compounding type will be compared to annual compounding (choices are: compounded quarterly, monthly, or daily). o A fourth menu choice, exit the program, should be included on the menu. o Loop, displaying the menu and reading the user choice, until the user enters a valid choice from the menu.  Create a main method that will: Display a description of what the program will do, for the user. Loop: o Call the method to read the compounding choice from the user (sample shown). Unless the user chooses to Exit, continue:  Call the methods to ask the user for the initial investment, annual interest rate, and term years, and store the returned results.  Call the constructor to create two different objects of the Investment class type. Both objects will have the same initial investment, annual interest rate, and term years. But they will have different compounding periods.  The first Investment object will be created to use annual compounding.  The second Investment object will be created to use the compounding type chosen by the user from the menu.

Do NOT ask the user if s/he wishes to run the program again – just redisplay the menu each time until EXIT is chosen. 3. The program must follow the CS210 Coding Standards from Content section 6.10. Be sure to include the following comments: o Comments at the top of each code file describing what the class does  Include tags with the author’s name (i.e. your full name) and the version of the code (e.g. version 1.0, Java Assn 4) o Comments at the top of each method, describing what the method does  Include tags with names and descriptions of each parameter and return value. Delete any default comments supplied by the IDE that you did not use. Run, debug, and test your Java program with different inputs, until you are sure that all control structures within your program work correctly.
