Answer:

payback period is 9.4785 ≅ 9.5 years  

Explanation:

BTU stands for British thermal units and MCF stands for the volume of 1,000 cubic feet.

We know that one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas equals 1.037 million Btu.

Difference between heat loss before and after installation = (42-28) millions BTU =  14 millions BTU

14 million BTU is equivalent to --

1.037 million BTU = 1 MCF

1 million BTU = (1/1.037) MCF

14 million BTU = (1/1.037) x 14 MCF = 13.5004 MCF

Cost of 13.5004 MCF = = $8.94 x 13.5004  = $120.6935

Pay back period = (1144/120.6935) = 9.4785

Therefore, her payback period is 9.4785 ≅ 9.5 years

When you compare the founding father of the UAE (Sheikh Zayed), and the Father of the Indian Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, you can see that there are many similarities between them. Both Zayed and Gandhi wanted peace in their country and stressed solidarity and union of people in order to achieve it. They were both wise men who understood what was needed for their respective countries to thrive and separate themselves from the countries they once belonged to. Their aim was to spread love, peace, and harmony among people which they succeeded at their time.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

c. 12 years

Explanation:

The blackout period is the gap that exists between the year a deceased worker's children reach the upper age limits (16 years) for survivors benefits and the time that worker's spouse becomes eligible for widow/widower benefits (60 years).

Marvin became a widow at 38 years, she will receive benefits until her last child who is 8 years becomes 16 years old. By then, Mavin is 46 years. The children will each receive benefits until they turn 18 by then Mavin is 48 years old. Then the blackout period begins. Mavin has up to retirement age of 60 years to remain in the blackout period. So 60 years - 48 years = 12 years. Therefore, Mavin has up to 12 years to be in the "blackout period".
