Write a program to calculate the property tax. Property tax is calculated on 92% of the assessed value of the
property. For example, if the assessed value is $100,000.00, the property tax is on $92,000.00. Assume that
the property tax rate is $1.05 for each $100.00 of the assessed value. Your program should produce an
output similar to the following.
The following test class generates the following output. Write the class PropertyTax.
import java.text.NumberFormat;
class TestPropertytax
{
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
PropertyTax p1 = new PropertyTax(100000, 1.05);
p1.calculate();
print(p1, nf);
System.out.println("----------------------------------");
PropertyTax p2 = new PropertyTax(150000, 1.05);
p2.calculate();
print(p2, nf);
System.out.println("----------------------------------");
System.out.println("Total tax revenue " + nf.format(PropertyTax.totalTax()));
System.out.println("--------- End of report ----------");
}
static void print(PropertyTax p, NumberFormat nf)
{
System.out.println("Assessed value " + nf.format(p.getAssessedValue()));
System.out.println("Taxable amount " + nf.format(p.getTaxableAmount()));
System.out.println("Tax rate for each $100.00 is " + nf.format(p.getTaxRate()));
System.out.println("Property tax is " + nf.format(p.getTax()));
}
}
