Robert, the type(s) of the values you are multiplying can affect the type of
the result.

To avoid getting a result of a type other than decimal, you should convert
a, b and c to decimal type before performing the operation.

Line 412:                    Return (a * b * c)

its returning a decimal

& the three values are, 1000, 1000, 10000
