A.) A challenge gaining prominence throughout the planet is the increased need for "green" or sustainable energy. In certain parts of the country, wind farms are a viable alternative to conventional energy sources. An average wind turbine, the device which converts rotational motion to electricity, has a maximum capacity of 1.80 MW1.80 MW . However, the wind turbine realistically never runs at full power. If a wind turbine runs at 26.4%26.4% capacity for 1.00 year1.00 year , how much energy does the wind turbine generate?

E=______kWh

B.)

Suppose that the average U.S. household uses 14100 kWh (kilowatt‑hours) of energy in a year. If the average rate of energy consumed by the house was instead diverted to lift a 2020 kg car10.8 m into the air, how long would it take?

car:________s

Using the same rate of energy consumption, how long would it take to lift a loaded Boeing 747 airplane, with a mass of 4.15×105 kg , to a cruising altitude of 9.67 km ?

A financial institution has entered into a 10-year currency swap with company Y. Under the terms of the swap, the financial institution receives interest at 3% per annum in Swiss francs and pays interest at 8% per annum in U.S. dollars. Interest payments are exchanged once a year. The principal amounts are 7 million dollars and 10 million francs. Suppose that company Y declares bankruptcy at the end of year 6, when the exchange rate is $0.80 per franc. What is the cost to the financial institution? Assume that, at the end of year 6, the interest rate is 3% per annum in Swiss francs and 8% per annum in U.S. dollars for all maturities. All interest rates are quoted with annual compounding.

The LIBOR zero curve is flat at 5% (continuously compounded) out to 1.5 years. Swap rates for 2- and 3-year semiannual pay swaps are 5.4% and 5.6%, respectively. Estimate the LIBOR zero rates for maturities of 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 years. (Assume that the 2.5-year swap rate is the average of the 2- and 3-year swap rates and use LIBOR discounting.)

You will examine what motivates the local workforce and the style of leadership which is prevalent in your countries. You will contrast those against what our U.S. company would utilize. A minimum of two pages per country is required and you will follow APA (6th edition) formatting (no abstract is required for this milestone) with title and reference pages, indented paragraphs and a minimum of four APA formatted references and associated in-text citations. This information, and that of the following weeks, will become part of your final project artifact
