4. A factory takes a load of 800 kW at 0-8 p.f. (lagging) for 3000 hours per annum and buys energy on tariff of Rs 100 per kVA plus 10 paise per kWh. If the power factor is improved to 0-9 lagging by means of capacitors costing Rs 60 per KVAR and having a power loss of 100 W per kVA, calculate the annual saving effected by their use. Allow 10% per annum for interest and depreciation on the capacitors. (Ps 30721
