In the south, most homes have a heat pump for heating and cooling. The power of a heat pump is rated in "Refrigeration Tons" [RT]. One Refrigeration Ton [RT] is equal to 12,000 British Thermal Units per hour [BTU/h]. Assume you purchase a new heat pump rated at 3 Refrigeration Tons [RT]. You estimate to use the heat pump for 13 hours per day [h/d] during the month of April (30 days), at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour [$/(kW h)]. What is the total cost, in dollars [$], to operate the heat pump in the month of April?
