AMT cannot be followed by a period. Only with a COBOL 85 compiler can both TO and GIVING be used in the same ADD statement. DIVIDE and MULTIPLY operations cannot be performed in the same statement. It should be: DIVIDE A BY B MULTIPLY B BY C

ROUNDED must appear to the left of the equal sign in a COMPUTE statement. COMPUTE EOQ = (2 * R * S / I) ** .5 COMPUTE A = A + 1 Assuming fractional portions of a pound of grass seed can be purchased, the following solution would be correct: MULTIPLY LENGTH BY WIDTH GIVING SQUARE-FEET COMPUTE COST = SQUARE-FEET / 1000 * 2.50 If grass seed could only be purchased by the pound, the following solution would be correct: POUNDS PIC S9(3).

MULTIPLY LENGTH BY WIDTH GIVING SQUARE-FEET COMPUTE POUNDS = SQUARE-FEET / 1000 + .99999 MULTIPLY POUNDS BY 2.50 GIVING COST 14. 15.
