Tax class

First step is to create a class called Tax (Tax.java) it will not contain a main method.

The Tax class will be very simple it will contain two private instance variables:

o taxPayerNameasaString
o incomeasaninteger

The following public methods will have to be implemented:

o A default constructor

o A parameterised constructor

o Two setmethods(mutators)

o Two getmethods(accessors)

o computeTax()method*

*You will also create a public value returning method to return the calculated tax. The tax can be derived from the calculation according to the tax rates as assignment 1. In other words the tax will be retrieved via your computeTax() method, which is a user-defined method inside the Tax class and it does not contain the keyword static.

Explanation / Answer

Here is the Tax class for you:

class Tax
{
    String taxPayerName;
    int income;
    //Default constructor.
    Tax()
    {
       taxPayerName = "";
       income = 0;
    }
    //Parameterised constructor.
    Tax(String name, int incm)
    {
       taxPayerName = name;
       income = income;
    }
    //Two mutators.
    public void setTaxPayerName(String name)
    {
       taxPayerName = name;
    }
    public void setIncome(int incm)
    {
       income = incm;
    }
    //Two accessors.
    public String getTaxPayerName() { return taxPayerName; }
    public int getIncome() { return income; }
    public double computeTax()
    {
       return income * 0.01;   //As you didn't gave any logic on how to implement the tax, I just took it as 10% of income.
                               //You can modify this function logic as per your requirement.
    }
}
