9/3 Homework: Manga Guide Questions Appliance Questions/Junk Circuit Board

Calculations:

I used the equation found here: http://www.brynmawr.edu/geology/206/operating%20cost%20formula.htm and one of my GRU bills to get the cost per kWh of $.04.

Appliances (unfortunately not all companies include the amount of amps and I attempted to calculate it myself) -

Razer Power Supply
9w
100-240v
11a
Cost: $0.87

Laptop Power Supply
65w
100-240v
1.7a
Cost: $0.61

Coffee Maker
650w
120v
.2a
Cost: $0.62

Toaster
780w
120v
.2a
Cost: $0.75

Camera Charger
24w
120v
.2a
Cost: $0.12

If I did the math right I can plug a few appliances in at once without issue but I probably shouldn't exceed using more wattage than the combination of the coffee maker and toaster.

For the circuit board I took apart an old computer keyboard:
