Environmentalists have continually argued for the use of alternatives to fossil fuels to generate energy. Harnessing wind power

son4ous [18]

Answer:

<u>Mistake of ignoring secondary effects</u>

Explanation:

Whenever there arises an adverse impact of a policy and it's implementation, owing to ignorance of secondary consequences, it is termed as ignoring secondary effects.

In short, it refers to assessing and viewing only the positive aspects of a policy or a move, meanwhile not taking into consideration the other adverse consequences which are also associated with the same policy.

In the given case, the environmentalists have only considered the generation of alternative sources of energy via windmills which will lead to preservation of fossil fuels. The proposed policy has been implemented without taking into account it's flip side i.e the harm it causes to bat population and migratory birds.

Thus, it can be stated that the environmentalists herein only considered the favorable outcome of a policy implementation and ignored the adverse effect of the same. Hence, they are said to have committed the mistake of ignoring the secondary effects.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Option A-The revenue must be recognized on 31 August.

Explanation:

The accrual concept says that the income must be recognized when they are earned not when the amount is received and expenses when they are incurred not when they are paid.

So according to accrual concept, the entity must deliver its share to recognize sales that is servicing the car. When the entity will service the car then it should recognize the revenue otherwise not. So in accrual basis accounting the date of payment is irrelevant for recognition of revenue and expenses.

Cash interest is computed annually when a bond is issued for other than its face value. For a bond issued at a premium, how will

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Under the effective interest method, as a bond approaches maturity, the interest expense decreases while the amortization of the bond premium increases.

Explanation:

E.g. a company issues $800,000 in 8% bonds when the market rate is 7%, so the bonds price is $856,850 (semiannual coupons are paid).

Journal entry to record the issuance

Dr Cash 856,850

Cr Bonds payable 800,000

Cr Premium on bonds payable 56,850

amortization of bond premium on first coupon payment:

($856,850 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,989.75 - $32,000 = -$2,010.25 ≈ -$2,010

Journal entry to record first coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,990

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,010

Cr Cash 32,000

amortization of bond premium on second coupon payment:

($854,840 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,919.40 - $32,000 = -$2,080.60 ≈ -$2,081

Journal entry to record second coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,919

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,081

Cr Cash 32,000
