Thread: Java certificate of deposit calculator project

Hello im pretty new to programming and this is the project that was given to me to complete and i wasnt really sure where to begin and go with it and was hoping some one here could help me out and give me some direction. Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

The manager of your bank would like you to create a program the tellers can you use to help recommend Certificates of Deposit (CDs) to customers. You need to create a program that offers a menu with different terms available. They should be able set the APR(Annual Percentage rate) one time when they open the program. They must be able to change these values because the bank continually changes the rates. They should be allowed to use the program continually for all customers that come into the bank. It should produce the output every 6 months for the Month CDs and Yearly for the Yearly CDs . They should be able to Exit the program when desired.
Programs will be graded on the following:
Use At least one Method Besides Main
Use a Loop
Use IF statements
Produce Correct Output
Format Data for Currency
Use correct data types with variables
Point Value: 50 Points
See Sample Output Below
