Answer and explanation:

Externalized costs are costs that the society pays that are generated by producers and the consumers of the product. The common example is the use of petrol. If I own a car and I don't like riding bicyle for smaller distances, this means the Carbon dioxie emission caused due to me have to be born by the society. This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.

UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.

Answer:

Laptops (wrote this myself, not copied)

Explanation:

Laptops are ubiquitous in our everyday life. I couldn't even write this without one. The number of computer units shipped has increased from 135 million in 2000 to 355 million in 2011!  When a laptop becomes useless, it is usually disposed of.  Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 38 percent of computers in 2009 by weight were recycled. A laptop can contain mercury, lead, chromium and other heavy metals that provide power. If these toxic elements ended up in a landfill, they could contaminate groundwater, surface water or the soil around the landfill.

Approximately 164 million people in the US own laptops. The amount of energy (electricity) needed to power these laptops contributes to the millions of tons of greenhouse gases that are transmitted into the environment.

Richard Mattison, CEO of the Trucost, part of S&P Global, stated, "Our analysis indicates that, on average, if nature charged for its services, the “true cost” of a desktop computer would be around 6 percent higher than the retail price, while the laptop would be 14 percent more expensive." In other words, if nature charged for its administrations, the "genuine expense" of a desktop, it would associate with 6 percent higher than the retail cost, while the laptop would be 14 percent more costly.

Ralph pays his workers $ 100 each, and labor is the only variable cost. At a quantity of 5000 chickens, how many workers does he
Flura [38]

Answer:

He hires 8 workers

Explanation:

The total cost is $1600 for 5,000 chickens minus the fixed cost of  $800, which equals $800. The total cost is total of fixed cost and variable cost as in absence of production the total variable cost is zero so from this we can conclude that total fixed cost is zero.

Then divide the total variable cost ($800) buy what Ralph pays his workers ($100), which comes to 8.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

A scope limitation in audit means circumstances hindering an auditor from carrying out his duties according to the audit procedure. A scope limitation can make an auditor issue a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion depending on the materiality of the issue.

Back to the question, a scope limitation sufficient to preclude an unqualified opinion always will result when management refuses to provide a representation letter acknowledging its responsibility for the fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with General Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP)
