THE MATHEMATIC EQUATION:

UFP =  8x3 +                                       user input

            5x4 +                                      output

            0 +                                          inquiries

            3x7 +                                      files

            2x5                                         external interfaces

            = 75

FP = UFPxTCF = 75x 0.99 = 74.25

TCF = ∑ DI
