How much energy in Btu would be saved during the next five years if a household were to reduce its annual electricity consumption rates from 10,000 kWh to 7,000 kWh? Perform a sensitivity cost saving analysis, assuming the electric utility company could charge between 10 to 20 cents per kWh. Use increments of 2-cent change for your analysis.

Use the following scenario to answer the next three questions.A large lending institution is evaluating the long-term pros and cons of building a hydroelectric dam in the Amazon rainforest. First, the lending institution is identifying the appropriate factors and then quantifying them. The factors include-but are not limited to-the direct expenses of building the dam, the lost opportunities from placing a dam on the river, and the profit from the dam. Also included is an analysis of who will be affected by the dam.Which of the following is not a major criticism of the type of analysis in the scenario?

A. The quantification process compares the value of the lives of indigenous people's lives with the lives of people in the city who would be receiving the electricity. B. Monetary values are placed on intangible things like the river running freely. C. The focus of this type of analysis would be mainly on the hydroelectric project rather than alternatives. D. People are willing to answer questions about how much they would spend to save the Amazon rainforest. E. These are all criticisms of this type of analysis.
