The website will have 5 pages for different staff expenditure. The home page will have the name of the employee’s details and the business trips they have been on. The second page will have hotel inventory and the time for departure and arrival from the trip, including the date and time of check-in and check-out. The second page will include daily expenses. The third page will be on the expenses incurred in a day, such as dining, transport, and seminar registration fee. Page four will be highlighting reports of an employee’s expenditure while on a business trip. Page five will an about page that that highlights the Widget Sales Company. The project will require the use of function and parameters to calculate the daily allowable expenditure and calculate the sum of an employee’s total expenditure on travel (Bassi, 2007). The functions and parameters used in the project will be as follows:

def hotel(days):

· Calculates the maximin allowance for the hotel expense using MAX_DAILY_FEE * days

· Gets the hotel fee from the user

· Adds the hotel fee to total expenses

· Determines if the hotel fee above the amount allowed

· Returns the allowable hotel expense

def taxi(days):

· Calculates the maximin allowance for the taxi fee using MAX_DAILY_FEE * days

· Gets the taxi fee from the user

· Adds the taxi fee to total expenses

· Determines if the taxi fees excess of the amount allowed

· Returns the allowable taxi fee
