(IN C LANGUAGE) The cost to become a member of a fitness center is as follows:
(a) the senior citizens discount is 30%
(b) if the membership is bought and paid for 12 or more months, the discount is 15%
(c) if more than five personal training sessions are bought and paid for, the discount on each session is 20%
Write a that determines the cost of a new membership.
Your program must contain: a function that displays the general information about the fitness center and its charges a function that prompts for the price per month of a membership and the cost of each personal trainer session
a function that prompts for all of the necessary information to determine the cost of a membership
a function to determine the membership cost
STARTER CODE:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
void setPrices(...);
void getInfo(...);
double membershipCost(...);
void displayCenterInfo();
int main()
{
}
void displayCenterInfo()
{
printf("Welcome to Stay Healty and Fit
center.\n");
printf("This program determines the cost of a new
membership.\n");
printf("If you are a senior citizen, then the discount
is 30%% of the regular membership price.\n");
printf("If you buy membership for twelve months and
pay today, the discount is 15%%.\n");
printf("If you buy and pay for 6 or more personal
training session today, the discount on each session is
20%%.\n\n");

An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. Consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation.
| Production Volume (units) | Total Cost ($) |
| 400 | 3,900 |
| 450 | 4,900 |
| 550 | 5,300 |
| 600 | 5,800 |
| 700 | 6,300 |
| 750 |
6,900 |

| February | 5,000 | 120,000 |
| March | 7,000 | 141,000 |
| April | 9,000 | 195,000 |

allen is analyzing a project and has determined that the initial
cost will be $760,000 and the required rate of return needs to be
12 percent. The project has a 60 percent chance of success and a 40
percent chance of failure. If the project fails, it will generate
an annual after-tax cash flow of $150,000. If the project succeeds,
the annual after-tax cash flow will be $306,000. She has further
determined that if the project fails, she will shut it down after
the first year and sell the equipment for the after-tax salvage
value of $300,000. If however, the project is a success, she can
expand it with no additional investment and increase the after-tax
cash flow to $326,000 a year for Years 2-5. At the end of Year 5,
the project would be terminated and have no salvage value. What is
the expected net present value of this project at Time 0?
