A student owing $17,565 on a credit card has decided to use only a debit card in the future. The nominal annual rate on the credit card is 13.8%. If the student makes monthly payments of $250, how long is it until the credit card is paid off?

BONUS QUESTION The owner of a downtown parking lot has employed a civil engineering consulting firm to advise him on the economic feasibility of constructing an office building on the site. Betty Samuels, a newly hired civil engineer, has been assigned to make the analysis. She has assembled the following data: The analysis period is to be 15 years. For all alternatives, the property has an estimated resale (salvage) value at the end of 15 years equal to the present total investment.If the MARR is 10%, what recommendation should Betty make?

A lottery pays the winner $1 million in 20 equal annual payments of $50,000. The first payment will be made at the end of the second year. What is the present worth if the winner’s annual interest rate is 5.25%?

Problem 1: Dataflow Analysis (20 points) [12 minutes] Design a dataflow analysis that detects user-related variables. A user-related variable is a variable whose value can be affected by the user’s inputs. For example, in the following program:     READ(a);    b = 0;    c = 1;    while (b < 100) {        c *= a;        b += 1;    }    WRITE(c); Notice that a's value is given by the user and c's value is determined by a. Hence a and c are user-related; but b is not. (A). Is this analysis forward or backward? You do not have to justify your answer. (4 points) a. Forward Analysis b. Backward Analysis (B). How should this analysis be initialized? (In a forward analysis, what is IN of the first statement, in a backward analysis, what is OUT of the last statement?) (4 points) a. IN(start) containing all variables b. IN(start) is empty c. OUT(end) is empty d. OUT(end) containing all variables (C). Define the OUT set for the statement READ(a), in terms of the IN set. (4 points) a. \(\textrm{OUT} = \phi\) b. \(\textrm{OUT} = \textrm{IN}\) c. \(\textrm{OUT} = \textrm{IN} - \{a\}\) d.\(\textrm{OUT} = \textrm{IN} \cup \{a\}\) (D). Consider a statement a = b + c. Let the current IN set be \(\{b\}\). What will be the OUT set after the statement? (4 points) a. \(\textrm{OUT} = \{a\}\) b. \(\textrm{OUT} = \{a, b\}\) c. \(\textrm{OUT} = \{a, c\}\) d. \(\textrm{OUT} = \{a, b, c\}\) (E). Is this analysis all-path or any-path? (Consider how your analysis should behave at merge statements.) (4 points) a. All-path Analysis b. Any-path Analysis Problem 2: Dependence Analysis and High-Level Loop Optimization (20 points) [16 minutes] For the following subproblems, consider the code below:     for (i = 1; i
