OS 408 Week 3 Individual Assignment Enhanced Home Utility Auditing Program

Design, implement, test, and debug a Visual Basic® program to create an enhanced home utility auditing program based on Week Two.

The user should be able to do the following:

Enter the cost per kilowatt-hour.
Select from a list of home appliances which includes a washer, among other appliances.
Enter the power needed in kilowatts (kW) for the selected appliance.
Enter the number of hours used per day for the selected appliance.
If the washer is selected, enter both the number of gallons of water used by the washer per hour and the cost per gallon. (If another appliance is used, have the user enter all the criteria needed to calculate usage and cost.)

The program should do the following:

Validate that the data entered has the correct format, and is within a reasonable range.
Calculate and display the cost for operating a home appliance as soon as the data is entered.
Create a listing area to display each of the following for each appliance entered:

Home appliance
Number of hours per day
Cost
Display and update the total cost of all appliances, as soon as a new entry is added to the listing area.

Required programming components
Include all functionality and programming requirements from the previous weeks
Format all floating point numbers to two decimal places and align all columns in lists.
Input from the user should not allow invalid amounts (letters, blanks, amounts too high or too low)
Use other VB objects to make a professional looking form. Use as little space as possible (do not use the entire screen). Think about how this could be made easier for the user.
Use fonts and colors schemes that look professional
Create a flow chart.
Be generous with internal documentation

Write the code for the program and test the results.

Zip the files of the project together.
Post the zipped project folder and flow chart as separate posts in the assignment tab. Name the flow chart document, ‘flow chart’.
