Question 1163 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 8,820 barrels. The explanation is as follows: 1. To calculate the expected number of barrels to be unloaded, we need to use the formula for volume correction factor (VCF) to account for the change in cargo temperature between loading and unloading. 2. Given the initial cargo temperature of 35°C (95°F) and the final cargo temperature of 55°F, we can use the VCF of 0.0005 to calculate the final volume. The formula is: Final Volume = Initial Volume x (1 + VCF x (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)). Plugging in the values, we get: 9,000 barrels x (1 + 0.0005 x (55°F - 95°F)) = 8,820 barrels. 3. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the VCF formula to account for the change in cargo temperature.
