Need help copying and renaming files

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I would like to copy files from one directory to another directory while renaming them at the same time. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this in a script?

Basically, would like to copy files from

/user/data/prod/*.txt

to

/user/data/bck/*.txt.bck

2 
for file in /user/data/prod/*.txt
do
    cp ${file}  /user/data/bck/$(basename ${file})".bck"
done
