A New York renewable energy company pays $0.18 per kilowatthour (kWh) for the first 10,000 units of electricity each month and $0.15/kWh for all remaining units. If a firm uses 25,000 kWh/month, what is its average and marginal cost?
Qantas expects to cut its fuel bill by as much as $40 million a year thanks to a radical overhaul to how it plots its flights across the globe. The airline has spent five years and millions of dollars building a new flight planning program – which it says will materially cut its fuel bill and bring its ultra-haul ambitions closer to reality. Qantas’ team of dispatchers have used the same computer program for 30 years to plan the route of each flight, assessing weather, airspace traffic, safety and legal constraints on three of four possible routes. The new system uses cloud computing to crunch data on thousands of possible flight paths, using millions of data points – including the latest wind patterns, and varying altitudes and wind speeds – to build a cost map that presents the most efficient route… A flight to Johannesburg, for example, was directed to fly 160 nautical miles further than it would normally, but in doing so cut the headwinds it experienced by two-thirds. The 747…
