Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand Part 1

Question description

Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand is an online store that sells several types of
dried fruit. Based on the needs of Fran’s Virtual Fruit stand, you must design a
flowchart using Visual Logic. The flowchart must also be a fully functional
program which follows the design requirements below.
Note: This program does not require the use of arrays. The
program will prompt for data on a single item, process that data, display any
relevant messages as described below, and then move on to the next item. Use the
“console” option in the output command to display the output in a single window.
Displaying the output can be accomplished with as few as three (3) variables
that simply get overwritten each time the loop repeats.
Using Visual Logic, design a flowchart that is also a fully functional
program. According to your design, the program must:

Continually accept data regarding the purchase of fruit until a sentinel
value is entered.
Prompt the user for each item, and accept the name of the fruit (e.g.,
“dried apples”), the price per pound, and the number of pounds sold in a
month.
Display a clear message for items that are considered:

Best-selling itemsNote: Best-selling items are
identified as those that sell 5,000 or more pounds per month on average. For
example, an acceptable message may read, “Yellow raisins are a best-selling
item.”
Big-ticket itemsNote: Big-ticket items are identified
as those that are best-selling items and also cost $4 per pound or more. For
example, an acceptable message may read, “Freeze-dried blueberries are a
big-ticket item.”
High-priced itemsNote:High-priced items are identified
as those that sell for $7 per pound or more. For example, an acceptable message
may read, “Dried mangos are a high-priced item.”
Lowest-selling itemsNote: Lowest-selling items are
identified as those that sell 500 pounds or less per month on average. For
example, an acceptable message may read, “Dried Ugli Fruit is a lowest-selling
item.”
High-income generating itemsNote: High-income
generating items are identified as those that generate $7,000 or more per month
on average. To determine the income generated per item, multiply the price per
pound by the number of pounds sold per month. If the item generates $7,000 or
more per month, an acceptable message may read, “Dried pineapple chunks are a
high-income generating item.”
Loop through all of the above steps until the user types the sentinel value
when prompted. Display the sentinel value so that the user may ultimately be
able to demonstrate an understanding of the way in which to end the program.
Note: An acceptable message may read “Type n to end the
program.”, where “n” is the sentinel value.
Your Visual Logic program must follow these formatting requirements:

Be accomplished in a single Visual Logic program.
Be submitted as a single file with the “.vls” file extension.
Be fully functional in order to receive full credit.
