1.1 Background of the Study
The importance of computer cannot be overemphasized since the ancient times, computerhas proven itself capable of accepting data, storing, processing and producing an accurate resultor output.Since computer haspartially takenmostof the responsibilitiesof humanbeing,iintendtoembedtheuse ofcomputerinthebillingexercise.
