Evaluate the given pseudocode to calculate the payment (pmt) with the following test values: The total number of hours worked (working_hours) = 50
The rate paid for hourly work (rate) = 10
Input working_hours
Input rate
Pmt = working_hours * rate
If working_hours 40 then
Extra_hours = working_hours - 40
Extra_pmt = extra_hours * rate
Pmt = pmt + extra_pmt
End of if
Output pmt
What is the final output?
A) 540
B) 580
C) 500
D) 600

The pseudocode calculates the payment for 50 hours of work at a rate of 10 per hour. For the first 40 hours, the payment is 40 * 10 = 400. The extra 10 hours are also paid at the same rate, so the extra payment is 10 * 10 = 100. The total payment is 400 + 100 = 500. However, the pseudocode incorrectly adds the extra payment again, resulting in 500 + 100 = 600.
