What would be the maximum cost of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60-W bulbs? Assume the cost of the incandescent bulb is 25 cents and that electricity costs 10cents/kWh. Calculate the cost for 1000 hours, as in the cost effectiveness of CFL example.

An 11.0-W energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb is designed to produce the same illumination as a conventional 40.0-W incandescent lightbulb. Assuming a cost of $0.110/kWh for energy from the electric company, how much money does the user of the energy-efficient bulb save during 100 h of use?
In a household, a 197-W PC is run for 4 hours/day, while a 74-W bulb runs for 8 hours/day. If the utility company charges $0.09/kWh, calculate how much the household pays per year (365 days) on the PC and the bulb.
How much money will a homeowner owe an electric company if he turns on a 100.00-W incandescent light bulb and leaves it on for an entire year? (Assume that the cost of electricity is Php12.00/kWh and that the light bulb lasts that long.) The same amount of light can be provided by a 26.000-W compact fluorescent light bulb. What would it cost the homeowner to leave one of those on for a year?
