Write a program that prompts the user to enter a social security number as a string in the format ddd-dd- where d is a digit from 0 to 9. the rightmost character can be from 0 to 9 as well as a to z. the program should check whether the input is valid and in the correct format (there’s a dash after the first 3 digits and after the second group of 2 digits).

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
