Determine the chargeable water consumption.

You're on a roll — here are the solutions to Question 3: 3.1 Mrs Mabaspaced is a registered resident and she used 14 kl of water for the month of August 2022 calculate her water bill excluding VAT. Step 1: Determine the chargeable water consumption. As a registered indigent, Mrs Mabaspaced receives 6 kl free water. Chargeable\_consumption = 14 kl - 6 kl = 8 kl Step 2: Identify the tariff for the chargeable consumption from the "Mogale City Approved Tariffs July (2021/2022)" table. The 8 kl falls into the 7 - 15 kl block, which has a tariff of R18 per kl. Step 3: Calculate the total water bill. Water\_bill = 8 kl × R18/kl Water\_bill = R144 3.2 Write down the fixed monthly electricity cost for the prepaid system in Rand. Step 1: Identify the basic charge from the "Polokwane Local municipality 2021 tariff for prepaid electricity" table. The basic charge is 11392 cents. Step 2: Convert cents to Rand. Fixed\_cost = 11392 cents100 cents/Rand Fixed\_cost = R113.92 3.3 If a household uses 196 kWh of electricity in a month, how much would they pay for their electricity consumption, excluding VAT? Step 1: Calculate the cost for the first block of consumption (0 – 50 units). Cost_Block1 = 50 kWh × 118.24 c/kWh Cost_Block1 = 5912 cents Step 2: Calculate the remaining consumption and its cost for the next block. Remaining consumption = 196 kWh - 50 kWh = 146 kWh. This falls into Block 2 (51 – 350 units) at 154.36 c/kWh. Cost_Block2 = 146 kWh × 154.36 c/kWh Cost_Block2 = 22536.56 cents Step 3: Calculate the total electricity consumption cost in cents. Total\_cost_cents = Cost_Block1 + Cost_Block2 Total\_cost_cents = 5912 cents + 22536.56 cents Total\_cost_cents = 28448.56 cents Step 4: Convert the total cost from cents to Rand. Total\_cost_Rand = 28448.56 cents100 cents/Rand Total\_cost_Rand = R284.49 Drop the next question!
