Here is the indented code. Just stripping down to the one simple for loop doesn't help because it will just print a number 1-12, 100 times. That won't really allow me to observe any sort of pattern or inconsistencies, while the output with all of the other code thrown in there gives values like xx.xx, which can range from negative hundreds of dollars to positive hundreds of dollars.
