C program and pseudocode for this problem.

A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours and additional $0.50 per hour over three hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write a program that will calculate and print the parking charges for each of three customers who parked their cars in this garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. Your program should print the results in a tabular format, and should calculate and print the total of yesterday's receipts. The program should use the function calculateCharges to determine the charge for each customer. Your output should display the car #, the hours entered and the total charge.

Malaysian Island Resort. Theresa Nunn is planning a​ 30-day vacation on Pulau​ Penang, Malaysia, one year from now. The present charge for a luxury suite plus meals in Malaysian ringgit​ (RM) is 1,044​/day. The Malaysian ringgit presently trades at RM3.1350​/$. She determines that the dollar cost today for a​ 30-day stay would be $9,990.43. The hotel informs her that any increase in its room charges will be limited to any increase in the Malaysian cost of living. Malaysian inflation is expected to be 2.7625​% ​annum, while U.S. inflation is expected to be 1.293​%.

a. How many dollars might Theresa expect to need one year hence to pay for her​ 30-day vacation?

b. By what percent will the dollar cost have gone​ up? Why?

Write an anecdotal lead with a person focus from the following information; include a nut graph. Your focus is about the frustrations that students experience trying to park on campus because the parking department has sold too many permits.

Background: Nancy Pauw is a graduate student. One morning, she circled the parking lot east of the computer center three times before she found a parking space. Last year, there were 7,565 student parking permits sold for 3,930 spaces. “I have to get here an hour early so I can get to class on time,” Pauw says. She is one of many students (on your campus) who experience the daily frustration of not finding a parking spot even though they have purchases $30 and $50 permits.

In our textbook, we learn that Disney has acquired several companies throughout the years including Marvel for $4 billion in 2009. One main advantage that this acquisition allowed Disney to do is increase the differentiation in their product offerings. They were able to add and entire line of superheroes to the Disney character family, which also allowed to add Marvel character theme park rides, toys, and other merchandise. Not only did this benefit Disney, but the acquisition also added value to Marvel. "Because of economies of scope and economies of scale, Marvel is becoming more valuable inside Disney than as a standalone enterprise" (Rothaermel).

Our question for you is, besides being able to increase their product offerings, what other benefits do you think this acquisition brought to Disney as a company?
