'Problem 3 A 400-W computer (computer plus monitor) is turned on 8.0 hours per day. If electricity costs 10 cents per E kWh; how much does it cost to run the computer annually?'

A 400 W computer is turned on 8.0 hours per day. If electricity costs 10 cents per kWh, to run the computer annually it would cost $ 11680.
In a household, a 120-W personal computer (PC) is run for 4 hours per day, while a 60-W bulb runs for 8 hours per day. If the utility company charges $0.12/kWh, calculate how much the household pays per year (365 days) for the PC and the bulb.
