Estimate the lifetime of energy resources of Eldorado. The country of Eldorado, population 34 million, area 160,000 sg miles, enjoys fossil fuel resources equivalent to 40 billion barrels of crude oil. Currently, Eldorado's per capita energy use, all from fossil fuel resources, is equivalent to 30 barrels/year. Use the formulae we worked out in class to determine the lifetime of Eldorado's fossil fuelresources, assuming: An annual population growth of 1.5% and an annual per-capita-energy-use a- growth of 2.0%. b- The following annual population growth and per-capita-energy-use growth profiles: population i. first 5 years: ii. the 10 years following the first 5 1.5% 1.0% years: iii. thereafter: 0.5% per capita energy use i. the first 5-year period: ii. the second 5-year period: iii. the third 5-year period: iv. the fourth 5-year period: v. thereafter: 2.0% -1.0% - 5.0% - 8.0% flat (0.0%) Formula to be used : a = Aoert A = aoert A = ao from t to 0 ao prt A = 1] Where: a is the rate of…

George Kyparisis makes bowling bals in his Miami plant. With recent increases in his costs, he has a newfound interest in efficiency. George is interested in determining the productivity of his organization. He would like to know if his organization is maintaining the manufacturing average of a 3% increase in productivity. He has the following data representing a month from last year and an equivalent month this year: Last Year Cost Per Input Unit Now Units Produced Labor (hours) Resin (pounds) Capital Invested ($) Energy (BTU) 1,000 1,000 280 255 $10 per hour $6 per pound 1% per month $0.50 per BTU 48 43 9,000 10,000 3,000 2,850 The percent change in productivity for one month last year versus one month this year on a multifactor basis with dollars as the common denominator =% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
