True or False[explain] A)The lower the discount rate used in allocating future resources, the more emphasis we place on current consumption over conservation for future generations. (Your explanation should include the formula for present value using the discount rate.) B)Renewable energy sources are expensive relative to nonrenewable ones, and we do not have the infrastructure available to provide for the world’s energy using sources such as wind, water, and solar power. This means adoption of renewable energy has been slow and will continue to be slow in the near future.
Part 4 5 6 every part contain 100 words minimum Q1: Assume you have £300,000 worth of assets (W). This includes savings, property and your car. You use the car to drive to school/university every day and there is a 1 in 20 (or 5 per cent) chance per year that you will be involved in an accident that results in the car being a write-off. Assume its market value is £40,000 and remains the same i.e. it does not depreciate. You can take out a full insurance policy for the year that pays out the full £40,000 market value of the car if you have the accident. Assume the insurance company has many customers with exactly the same assets as you and who all face the same risk of being involved in a similar accident. What is the expected value of taking the gamble i.e. not buying the insurance policy? Assume your utility function is W0.25. What is your expected utility from taking the gamble? Calculate the certainty equivalent and risk premium of the gamble. What is the maximum amount you…

Canada has a massive resource of bitumen in the Athabasca oil sands near Fort McMurray. These deposits are also commonly known as tar sands, because of the sticky nature of the bitumen, which is disseminated in sandstone host rock. Note, the location of oil sands near the Athabasca River in Question 7 above. As oil accumulated in the shallow trap (the one that is drilled!), over geological time, some of it escaped over the spill-point of the trap and flowed, under buoyancy (oil is less dense than water), beneath the shale caprock that retains it. Near the surface, this oil collected near the Athabasca river and progressively degrades from crude into bitumen, a lower grade ‘dirty’ form of viscous and dense oil that requires significant refining after it has been physically separated from the encasing sands of the McMurray Formation. Despite the complications in exploiting bitumen from oil sands, relative to pumping crude, the bitumen resources of Alberta are enormous volumetrically.…
