The cost of fighting crime in a country increased significantly during the period 1982–1999. Total spending on police and courts can be approximated by
P(t)= 1.797t + 29.16 billion dollars    (2 ≤ t ≤ 19)
C(t)= 1.037t + 10.57 billion dollars    (2 ≤ t ≤ 19),
respectively, where t is time in years since 1980. Compute 
lim t→+∞ P(t)/C(t)
 to two decimal places. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
_______________
