SAMPLE SBA 1 Carnival has long been a traditional cultural festival in several Caribbean territories. Every year, thousands of costumed masqueraders parade through the streets, dancing to the pulsating sounds of steelband, calypso and soca. Most of these revelers register to participate in the band of their choice months before the festivities begin. Organizers of these bands must utilize management and organizational skills in order to stage a successful event. As a bandleader of one these carnival bands, you are required to utilize suitable ord !rocessing, spreadsheet, database management as "ell as a programming application to design and implement computer#based solutions to the tasks involved in the management of your carnival band.

Masqueraders are given the option of paying for the costume in three installments, or paying the full cost in one payment. Many people utilize the installment option. 'ingle full payment attracts a discount of )+1, "hile payment by installments attracts an interest of )/1. 2nstallments should be spread over three equal payments. Each masquerader pays an 32nclusive4 fee.
