Here is a short Python program.

```python
cost = 6
level = 7
limit = 8
limit -= limit
rate = limit + 7
rate = rate + level * 2
rate -= 9
rate = rate // 2
rate = rate + level * 2
level = limit if limit < level else level + 8
rate += 6
rate -= 4
level += 9
rate -= 8
rate = rate + level * 2
limit = limit + 2
rate = rate * 2 - 7
rate = rate + limit * 2
level -= 8
rate -= 7
rate = rate * 2 - 4
cost += level
cost += rate
cost += limit
```

After this program runs, what is the value of `cost`? Work through it carefully, then give the final answer on its own last line as `ANSWER: <python literal>`.

To find the final value of `cost`, let's trace the variables step-by-step:

1.  `cost = 6`
2.  `level = 7`
3.  `limit = 8`
4.  `limit -= limit` $\rightarrow$ `limit = 0`
5.  `rate = limit + 7` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 0 + 7 = 7`
6.  `rate = rate + level * 2` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 7 + (7 * 2) = 7 + 14 = 21`
7.  `rate -= 9` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 21 - 9 = 12`
8.  `rate = rate // 2` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 12 // 2 = 6`
9.  `rate = rate + level * 2` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 6 + (7 * 2) = 6 + 14 = 20`
10. `level = limit if limit < level else level + 8`
    *   `limit (0) < level (7)` is True.
    *   `level = limit = 0`
11. `rate += 6` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 20 + 6 = 26`
12. `rate -= 4` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 26 - 4 = 22`
13. `level += 9` $\rightarrow$ `level = 0 + 9 = 9`
14. `rate -= 8` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 22 - 8 = 14`
15. `rate = rate + level * 2` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 14 + (9 * 2) = 14 + 18 = 32`
16. `limit = limit + 2` $\rightarrow$ `limit = 0 + 2 = 2`
17. `rate = rate * 2 - 7` $\rightarrow$ `rate = (32 * 2) - 7 = 64 - 7 = 57`
18. `rate = rate + limit * 2` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 57 + (2 * 2) = 57 + 4 = 61`
19. `level -= 8` $\rightarrow$ `level = 9 - 8 = 1`
20. `rate -= 7` $\rightarrow$ `rate = 61 - 7 = 54`
21. `rate = rate * 2 - 4` $\rightarrow$ `rate = (54 * 2) - 4 = 108 - 4 = 104`
22. `cost += level` $\rightarrow$ `cost = 6 + 1 = 7`
23. `cost += rate` $\rightarrow$ `cost = 7 + 104 = 111`
24. `cost += limit` $\rightarrow$ `cost = 111 + 2 = 113`

ANSWER: 113
