    Cost of 41kW Motor for 32 Weeks: $17,633.28

    Homework Statement If I calculate that a motor needs 41kW continuously throughout a day to run, and it costs $0.08 per kWh to run, to calculate the cost of this for 32 weeks, I would do 41 x 24hours x 7days x 32weeks x $0.08 = $17633.28 is this a correct way of working it out?
