After a couple of calculations and couldn't find the correct answer from the selections, I gave up and looked at the back for the solution. I searched the forum in regards with the problem and could not find a previous post. The solution didn't consider the 0.9 pf of the load to find the complex impedance. From the comment of Table of 9 of NEC, the pf was included if different from 0.85pf. Perhaps, am I missing something?

For one reason or another, searching the forum for previous problems doesn't always work. What I found does work is doing a Google search for something like, "NCEES 512 engineerboards". That usually turns up a number of different results. To answer your question, have a look at this thread and see if that helps.

Thank you for the search tip and previous thread..

For this problem, I believe the keyword is "actual" to differentiate with the "effective" impedance.
