Consider refrigerator whose 40 watts light bulb remains on continuously as a result of a malfunction of the switch. If the refrigerator has a COP of 1.3 and the cost of electricity is 8 cents per kW-hr., determine the increase in the energy consumption of the refrigerator and its cost per year if the switch is not fixed.
