Create a Book class that has variables name, cost, edition and price. It should have private variables, a public constructor, methods to get and set the variables, and a function that returns the price with a 5% tax. Show how you create two Book object in main. Output the cost of the two Books.

//Create a public class to test the application

public class BookTest{

//write the main method

    public static void main(String []args){

       //Create two Book objects

       Book book = new Book("Book 1", 2000, "First edition", 2900);

       Book book2 = new Book("Book 2", 3000, "First edition", 3900);

       //Output the cost of the two books

       System.out.println("Cost of first book is " +book.getCost());

       System.out.println("Cost of second book is " + book2.getCost());

    }  //End of main method

}     //End of BookTest Class

//Write the Book class

class Book {

//declare all variables and make them private

   private String name;

   private double cost;

   private String edition;

   private double price;

//create a public constructor

   public Book(String name, double cost, String edition, double price){

       this.name = name;

       this.cost = cost;

       this.edition = edition;

       this.price = price;

   }

//getter method for name

   public String getName(){

       return this.name;

   }

//setter method for name

   public void setName(String name){

       this.name = name;

   }

//getter method for cost

   public double getCost(){

       return this.cost;

   }

//setter method for cost

   public void setCost(double cost){

       this.cost = cost;

   }

//getter method for edition

   public String getEdition(){

       return this.edition;

   }

//setter method for edition

   public void setEdition(String edition){

       this.edition = edition;

   }

//getter method for price

   public double getPrice(){

       return this.price;

   }

//setter method for price

   public void setPrice(double price){

       this.price = price;

   }

//function to return price with 5% tax

   public double priceWithTax(){

       return this.price + (0.05 * this.price);

   }

}

Cost of first book is 2000.0

Cost of second book is 3000.0
