Suppose in studying Climate Change we discover that in one country, deserts are going to be created where formerly there was grasslands and an abundance of water and in another place the coastlines are going to be altered. If you are an American, how do you think a politician is going to respond to such a problem.
Will his/her response be well thought out based on scientific preparedness, or will he (or she) grab onto the first solution suggestion to him/her and try and implement that?
Whatever he/she does, it will cost and everyone will be affected. A starting place is to find out what presidents in the past have done. During the Bush administration (the second Bush), there was an oil crisis. He responded by allocating more acreage to the growing of corn so supplementing oil production. Replaceable resources for non renewable ones. Sounded like a very good solution, but was it? As it turned out, no. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thousands of people suffered (and died) with that decision because food is much more important than solving transportation problems at the expense of food.
The same is true here. If a solution is sought for global warming, politicians have to be well aware of what they are doing. And that has to be studied very carefully.

Environmental scanning is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
The internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats.
Generally, the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Hence, the following are descriptive of an external environmental scanning;
1. Used as a tool for corporations to avoid strategic surprise.
2. Used to monitor, evaluate, and disseminate information relevant to the organizational development of strategy.
3. Used to determine a firm's competitive advantage.
4. Used as a tool to ensure a corporation's long-term health.

Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.
.
Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost. Hence option C is incorrect.
.
Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.
.
Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.

The equity method is a type of accounting used to incorporate investments. It is used when the investor holds significant influence over the investee but does not exercise full control over it.
An investor is deemed to have significant influence over an investee if it owns between 20% to 50% of the investee’s shares or voting rights.
- Jolley receives dividends of $10,000, which is 25% of $40,000, and records a reduction in their investment account. The reason for this is that they have received money from their investee.
- Jolley records the net income from Tige Co. as an increase to its Investment account.
