exercise; this rebate will be deducted from their current new_total_premium (to calculate their

revised_new_total_premium). Additionally, the company intends to donate a portion of this

revised_ new_ total_premium for each client towards the research and development of new

drugs to the Autism Foundation of Jamaica. They decided to donate five percent of all
