What data type is MILE_LOG.MIL_ALLOWANCE%TYPE? It looks like you are trying
to do floating point arithmetic with integer types: For example, you
declare v_refund as number(6), but you should probably have said number(6,2)
or number(8,2). As it is you will not have fractions of whole numbers in
v_refund.
