Part A Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost much more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on the average, and costs $12.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $0.74, but lasts just 750 hours The study assumed that electricity cost $0.090 per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs were on for 4.0 h per day.

it the minimum average power? 13. An energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb operating at power Pı = 28 W can produce the same level of brightness as a conventional incandescent lightbulb operating at power P, 100 W. Lifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is T = 10000 h, and its purchase price is B1 = $4.50. Lifetime of the conventional bulb is T2 = 750 h, and its purchase price is B2 = $0.42. Suppose electrical energy costs R = $0.20/kWh, i.e. 20 cents per kilowatt- hour. a) Calculate the total cost of using energy-efficient bulbs over 10,000 hours. b) Calculate the total cost of using conventional bulbs over 10,000 hours. Note that you must include both the cost of purchasing the bulbs and the cost of energy.
