Since the value of purchase is greater than 1000 and the value of cust is not 'Y', the first if statement will fail and the else if statement will be checked. Since the value of purchase is greater than 750 and the value of cust is not 'Y', the second if statement will fail and the else statement will be executed, which sets the value of discountRate to 0.04. Therefore, the output value of discountRate will be 0.04.
