So the restricting of information is mostly impossible and that the restricting of information like Oil Spill can be far much dangerous for both land and marine life. So here, clear policy of defining the type of information to be conveyed to general public would be very useful. It is also one of the best practice that sustainability stresses upon which says that the operations that undermine or compromises the needs of the future generations must be abandoned.

There must also be a recovery policy for the ecosystem that we had damaged and thanks to social entrepreneurs who are doing this job much better than most of the multinational organizations.

There are also situations where the restricting the information is allowed and includes the following situations that permits the restriction of information:

  • If the provision of information can lead to security threats then it must be kept confidential till the time the security threat has been eliminated.
  • If the flow of information leads to the increase in the chaos and stress among the people then it must be retained during a disaster.
  • If the information results in increase in protests and affects the normal life of general public then it must be restricted for general public.
  • If an information promotes war among the nations then it must be restricted.
  • If the information that is for small time interval and has potential harmful outcomes due to disclosure of information then it must be retained by the organization.

  • The company has to act if the country has limited resources to take action and can not control the situation without the assistance of the companies.
  • If the disaster has endanger the Biotic environment then the companies must do more.
  • If the impact on the environment is continuously growing with time and if the companies are not taking right actions then it is possible that in the near future the harm to the society will be large and symptoms will become prominent as well.
  • If the environment disaster is large enough that it will spoil the reputation of the industry and as result results in harm to numerous stakeholders of the industry or if the whole of the industry would be blamed for negligence.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Dr  cash         $12,180

Cr notes receivable        $12,000

cr interest revenue             $180

On the other hand,notes receivable account that was previously debited when the transaction was consummated will now be credited with $12,000 with $180 credited to interest revenue account.

The rationale for credit entry in interest revenue is that an increase in income is naturally a credit entry in the books of accounts.

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity firm with 48,000 shares of stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.19 and a standard devia
user100 [1]

Answer:

The firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%

Explanation:

For computing the required rate of return, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

= Risk free rate of return + (Beta × market risk premium) + adjustment

where,

Risk free rate of return is 4.1%

Beta is 1.19

Market risk premium is 7.8%

Adjustment is 1.35%

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value wold be equal to

= 4.1% + (1.19 × 7.8%)+ 1.35%

= 4.1% + 9.28% + 1.35%

= 14.732%

The standard deviation is irrelevant. Therefore, it is not considered in the computation part.

Hence, the firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%
