The medicare contracting reform initiative (mcr) was established to integrate the administration of medicare parts a and b fee-for-service benefits with new entities called Medicare administrative contractors (MACs).

Medicare administrative contractors (MACs) are private health care insurers whose responsibility is to administer both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B claims. Medicare administrative contractors carry out many functions such as responding to provider inquiries, enrolling providers in the Medicare Fee-For-Service program and handling redetermination requests.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.
