Instructions:
Use the ERDPlus tool to create an ER for a car dealership. The dealership
sells both new and used cars. Base your design on the following business
rules:
– A salesperson is identified by a salesperson 9 alphanumeric character id and has a
first and last name.
– A salesperson may sell many cars, but each car is sold by only one salesperson.
– A car is identified by a 5 alphanumeric character id and has a 17 alphanumeric
character serial number, make, model, color, and year.
– A customer is identified by a 5 alphanumeric character id, and has first and last
name, phone number, address, and a 6 alphanumeric character postal code.
– A customer may buy many cars, but each car is bought by only one customer.
– A salesperson writes a single invoice for each car he or she sells.
– A customer gets an invoice for each car he or she buys.
– An invoice is identified by an invoice 5 alphanumeric character id, invoice date
and an invoice total.
– A customer may come in just to have his or her car serviced; that is, a
customer need not buy a car to be classified as a customer.
– When a customer takes one or more cars in for repair or service, one service
ticket is written for each car.
– A service ticket is identified by a 5 alphanumeric character id, date
received, comments, and date returned back to customer.
– The car dealership maintains a service history for each of the cars serviced. The
service records are referenced by the car’s serial number.
– A car brought in for service can be worked on by many mechanics, and each
mechanic may work on many cars.

– A car that is serviced may or may not need parts (e.g., adjusting a carburetor
or cleaning a fuel injector nozzle does not require providing new parts).
– A part is identified by a 5 alphanumeric character id, and has a name and price.
Your diagram should look like the one shown in Figure 1 below:
