The common arguments that are in favor of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are:
Public image of the company.
Moral Justification.
Public Support for business.
Long run survival of the organization and the public both.
Common arguments that go against CSR are:
Ambiguity in business policies.
Moral Responsibility.
Shareholders' rights
Explanation:
Against
The public should perceive the company as their savior and not their enemy. CSR helps a company stay in the good books of the public. If a cigarette manufacturing company opens a profit free farm or a recreational park for the public, it will ensure the maintenance of a positive image.
Morally, when a company takes something from the public e.g their clean air, or clean environment, then morally the company is bound to give something in return e.g a water filtration plant.
CSR can lead the public to support the company during times of need. A company during tough times might get several volunteers if it is known to have given much to the public.
Co-dependence is essential for the survival of both the organization and the public. Companies excel if the public likes them. If a company has been known to have only take and never give, then the balance is disturbed.
Against:
Not every company has the resources or interest to focus on one problem. Therefore, ambiguous policies of different organizations lead to partial working on one social issue or environmental issue. it leads the problem to be partially solved and not completely eliminated.
Company might morally owe the public in some domain but might not have the resources to fix that particular problem. It may leave the company in a moral debt. In order to compensate, a company may go beyond its capabilities which will not result in mutual benefit. Only one party will be happy.
CSR activities require resources. A company has several stakeholders and all might nit agree to spending/donating their profits for CSR activities. This may sound 'selfish' but public doesn't always know what the stakeholders are going through. CSR in such a case may deprive a stakeholder from a fraction of his share of profit.

<u>First </u>
We add all the assets together. 586,818
<u>Then</u>
we add the lliabilities and common stock. 476,909
<u>Finally</u>
We use the accounting equation to solve for RE
Assets = Liab + Equity
586,818 = sum of liab and equity accounts
we know that all the accounts, except RE add to 476,909
586,818 = 476,909 + RE
586,818 - 476,909 = RE
RE = 109,909
Answer: Fixed Indirect costs.
Explanation:
Depreciation cost is the amount of a fixed asset that has been charged to expense through a periodic depreciation charge. Depreciation can either be a direct cost which is one that varies in concert with changes in a related activity while
an indirect cost is one that is not directly associated with an activity.
The determination of depreciation as a direct or indirect cost depends upon what it is associated with. For example carpet cleaning is an Indirect costs because it's precise benefits to a specific project is difficult or impossible to trace Also,since depreciation is a fixed cost, because it recurs in the same amount per period throughout the useful life of an asset then cost of the depreciation on the carpet cleaning is a Fixed Indirect Cost.
