15-40 A manufacturing plant produces towels. The following annual data are obtained: Towel production = 4,485,000 kg = Electricity cost = $1,456,000 > Natural gas cost = $172,500 = Coal cost = $608,700 Operating and maintenance cost = $40,000 = Raw material cost = $3,280,000 Staff cost = $3,750,000 Taking the interest rate to be 5 percent, determine a) the unit product cost, (b) the specific energy cost, and (c) the fraction of the total annual cost due to energy consumption.
