Question 948 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 22,088 barrels. The key to solving this problem is understanding the concept of volume correction factor (VCF). The VCF is used to adjust the volume of a liquid cargo based on changes in temperature. In this case, the cargo temperature is expected to increase from 90°F to 100°F, which will result in an expansion of the liquid volume. The VCF provided is 0.0004, which means for every 1°F change in temperature, the volume changes by 0.04%. Since the temperature is expected to increase by 10°F, the volume will increase by 0.4% (0.0004 x 10). This 0.4% increase applied to the original 22,000 barrels results in the correct answer of 22,088 barrels. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the change in volume due to the temperature increase.
