Multiple Choice

You have been asked to develop an algorithm to calculate the total cost of a purchase order that contains several T shirts. The cost of each T shirt and the tax rate is known. The standard shipping charge for the entire order is $5.75, and the special delivery charge is $23.65. In addition, there is no tax on the shipping cost. Which of the following is the correct pseudocode for the required algorithm?

• A) For each T shirt on the purchase order:
• Order cost = order cost + T shirt cost
• Total purchase order cost = order cost + tax rate + 5.75
• B) For each T shirt on the purchase order:
• Order cost = order cost + T shirt cost
• If standard shipping
• Shipping cost = 5.75
• Else
• Shipping cost = 23.65
• Total purchase order cost = order cost * tax rate + shipping cost
• C) If standard shipping
• Shipping cost = 5.75
• Else
• Shipping cost = 23.65
• For each T shirt on the purchase order:
• Order cost = order cost + T shirt cost + shipping cost
• Total purchase order cost = order cost * tax rate
• D) If special delivery
• Shipping cost = 5.75
• Else
• Shipping cost = 23.65
• For each T shirt on the purchase order:
• Order cost = order cost + T shirt cost
• Total purchase order cost = order cost * tax rate + shipping cost
