Calculate the August electric bill. (20%) med to be 100°F dh and 60°F wh respectively Compute the

Answer 1

ANSWER. DATA GIVEN IN THE QUESTION : E letvicity rate for May to October = 8.0 cents per kWh = 0.08 $/kwhn . Fixed meter charge = 100 $ per month Rate during peak demand = .20 $ per kW The energy used in August = 10500 kwhy The peak energy demand = 1000kw Duration of peak energy demand = teeb 4:45 pm to = 15 minutes = 0.25hr CALCULATIONS 1 The charge total eletricity bill - Fired charge + Peak demand charge + Regular rate change for rest of .Usage duration Fixed charge Pear energy charge = $100 = 20$/kw X 1000 kw = 20,000 $. Regular rate charge for rest of usage - (10500 * - 1000X0.25) x 0.08 = 820 $ Page 1

:: Total electric bill= $ 100 + $ 20.000 $ 820 + = $ 20920 The total eletric charge is $20920 for August. Page 2
