The table below gives the price schedule for Eddie’s Equipment Rental. Full-day rentals cost one-and-a-half times the half-day rentals. In Visual Basic, write a program that displays the table in a list box when an appropriate button is clicked on and displays a bill in another list box based on the item number and time period chosen by a customer. The bill should include a $30.00 deposit.  A sample output is shown below.

Piece of Equipment / Half-Day / Full-Day

1. Rug cleaner  / $16.00  / $24.00

2. Lawn mower / $12.00  / $18.00

3. Paint sprayer / $20.00  / $30.00
