A 300-W computer (including the monitor) is turned on for 8.0 hours per day. If electricity costs 15¢ per kWh, how much does it cost to run the computer annually for a typical 365-day year? (Choose the closest answer)

Cost per year = $131.4

Explanation:

We are given;

Power rating of computer with monitor;P = 300 W = 0.3 KW

Cost of power per KWh = 15 cents = $0.15

Time used per day by the computer with monitor = 8 hours

Thus; amount of power consumed per 8 hours each day = 0.3 × 8 = 2.4 KWh per day

Thus, for 365 days in a year, total amount amount of power = 2.4 × 365 = 876 KWh

Now, since cost of power per KWh is $0.15, then cost for 365 days would be;

876 × 0.15 = $131.4

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
