= TOTAL GRADE  =  ** PAF 101 EXERCISES - MODULE FOUR ** ** BASED ON CHAPTERS 7 & 8 ** ** ** Whenever you use a source in your answer, including all quotes, you must provide an APA-style internal citation and a full APA-style reference in the References page exercise, except for personal communications. HINT: Most of these exercises require citations. ** ** ** Only attach an article if required by exercise directions. Whenever you attach an article, it must be directly behind the exercise in which it appears, and it must be clearly labeled with the exercise number and letter to which it pertains. Attach only the first page of the article unless otherwise stated. ** Exercise 7.1: Identifying Benefits Your Total Score: _____ (Maximum: 9 points) A. State your societal problem. Briefly describe your preferred policy at the local, state, or federal level and identify the primary unit of government responsible for implementing your policy. Your preferred policy is the one you believe will be most successful in dealing with the societal problem. Note: The problem and level you choose do not have to be the same as you used in Module 3, and you may choose a policy that is different than those you specified in Module 3. (3 points) Part A score: _____ The DEC provides many ways to conserve energy but many of those have no incentive other than helping the environment. This policy gives companies and industrial workplaces reason to cut back on energy consumption other than just that it is better for the environment. B. List the three most significant benefits of your policy and assign a rating of significance of 1, 2, or 3 to each item. Each rating can be used more than once. List each item in order from most significant (3) to least significant (1). Justify each rating you have assigned in no more than two sentences. (6 points) Part B Score: _____ ** Rating (1-3): **3 ** Justification of rating: **resources are not used up as quickly as they would be otherwise ** Rating (1-3): **3 ** Justification of rating: **large industrial buildings would otherwise put a lot of pollution into the surrounding environment ** Rating (1-3): **2 ** Justification of rating: **air quality is cleaner therefore workers are healthier and more able and willing to work  Exercise 7.2: Identifying Costs Your Total Score: _____ (Maximum: 6 points) List the three most significant costs of your policy and assign a rating of significance of 1, 2, or 3 to each item. Each rating can be used more than once. List each item in order from most significant (3) to least significant (1). Justify each rating you have assigned in no more than two sentences. All financial considerations must be grouped as a single cost. Do not discuss problems with the policy itself, but instead the costs that will arise if it is implemented. ** Rating (1-3): **2 ** Justification of rating: **most companies and private residences will not want to spend so much money to fix all of the problems; they would prefer just to not receive the tax credit ** Rating (1-3): **3 ** Justification of rating: **this cost effects the environment more than the companies because many companies will not meet green standards and will continue to emit pollutants into the surrounding environment ** Rating (1-3): ** 1 ** Justification of rating: ** the financial costs will increase for the companies and possible surpass the amount of the credit  Exercise 7.3: Comparing Benefits and Costs Your Total Score: _____ (Maximum: 3 points) Calculate the benefit‑cost ratio as described in the // Maxwell Manual // and show your calculations below. Then, in one sentence, interpret the ratio. No citation or reference is needed for this exercise. ** __Benefit Total__ ** ** Cost Total ** Total benefits: ** __8__ ** Total costs: ** 6 **  Exercise 7.4: Analyzing Your Career Preferences Your Total Score: ___ (Maximum: 16 points)   The two most important categories in this survey are, for me, hours and travel.

 * ** Year ** || ** Benchmark ** || ** Justification ** ||
 * 2011 || 7,000 Btu || This is not far below the projected level and it would be a better number to reach because it would mean less energy was being used in the U.S. ||
 * ** Year ** || ** Benchmark ** || ** Justification ** ||
 * 2014 || 6,500 Btu || This is also lower than the projected number and is a good benchmark because the goal should be lower than what is projected so that energy use would be lowered more still ||
 * ** Year ** || ** Benchmark ** || ** Justification ** ||
 * 2017 || 6,000 Btu || Much lower than projected because less energy should be consumed than currently is and less than projected would be a lot better ||
