In line with South Bank’s current thrust to expand retail through its branches, Alex Roces, manager of the Marikina Branch, reviewed its list of depositors. Since Roces planned to offer South Bank’s loan services to its depositors, he inquired among the branch’s employees on potential loan clients. He was informed that Fe Javier, the owner of Darling Dolls Company (DCC), had plans to borrow money for use in her business.

Early in January 1995, Roces set up a meeting with Javier. During their meeting, Javier informed Roces that DDC was in need of P1 million for additional working capital during the year.

DDC had no formal accounting records. Javier confidentially informed Roces that its financial statements were only prepared when she had to report her income for tax puposes. In view of this, Roces wanted a new set of DDC’s financial statements prepared for his evaluation.

Company’s Background

Darling Dolls Company was a small manufacturer of stuffed dolls operating from 200-sq.m. leased building in Parang, Marikina. Fe Javier established the business in early 1992 with an initial capital of P2 million from her savings (P1 million) and from personal borrowings from relatives and friends (P1 million). Of the initial investment, about P500,000 was used for improvement of building. Sandee, one of her daughters and a Stuyvesant School of Fine Arts graduate, helped in the management of business and designed the dolls.

Javier started the business with only major customer, Martie Designs. After a year, she was able to ink contracts with four additional customers. DDC dolls were unique and appealing not only to children and teenagers but also to working ladies and young mothers.

DDC had 25 employees, two of whom handled administrative work. Its production process was simple, and its equipment were mainly high-speed sewing machines. In December 1994, Javier invested in 10 new high-speed sewing machines at a total cost of P270,000.

Dolls made by DDC soon became popular. During the fourth quarter of 1994, Javier was able to establish contact with three additional store chains based in Visayas and Mindanao. She believed that a lasting business relationship could be established with these prospective clients. She estimated that production would increase by 80 percent from the current annual level of 27,000 dolls. But as a result of the recent acquisition of 10 sewing machines, Javier did not have sufficient funds to cover the increase in working capital. Moreover, she anticipated that the prices of raw materials and factory supplies would also increase due to the expected implementation of new tax measures.

Up until this time, DDC had no bank loans of any other credit accommodation, except for suppliers’ credit.

Roces assigned a member of his staff to interview Javier, and visit her factory. Based on the results of the interview, Roces’ staff prepared a brief description of the company and summarized the financial data. (see Exhibit 1).

READ THE ETHICAL DILEMMA BELOW

“Shell Is First Energy Company to Link Executive Pay and Carbon Emissions” (Source: Business Law Newsletter, January 2, 2019)

According to the article, Royal Dutch Shell is giving its executives a powerful new reason to care about the environment.

The Anglo-Dutch energy firm said recently that it will establish short-term carbon emissions targets starting in 2020 after coming under pressure from investors. In an industry first, it plans to link executive pay to hitting the targets.

Major shareholders including the Church of England and Robeco have demanded that Shell do more to tackle emissions. They say its earlier goal of cutting carbon emissions by half by 2050 did not go far enough.

Shell said in a statement that it would set carbon reduction goals that cover periods of three to five years. The targets will be set on an annual basis and run to 2050.

The oil company did not set out specific carbon benchmarks. And it said that shareholders would not vote on changes to executive remuneration until 2020.

Climate Action 100+, a group of 310 investors with over $32 trillion in assets under management, said in a joint statement with Shell that it strongly supported the company in taking “these important steps.”

Shell made the announcement as the United Nations’ annual talks on climate change got underway in Poland.

Shell said it would be the first major energy company to link executive compensation and carbon goals. Crucially, it’s committing to cut emissions generated by both its activities and the products it sells.

“That Shell has now embedded its ambition in its remuneration policy offers confidence that Shell is really committed to it,” said Corien Wortmann, chair of the pension fund ABP.

Moves by major corporations to reduce carbon emissions should help governments meet targets established under the Paris Climate Agreement, which seeks to keep rises in global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius.

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned in October that the planet will reach the crucial threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius by as early as 2030, precipitating the risk of extreme drought, wildfires, floods and food shortages for hundreds of millions of people. It said companies and governments must act faster.

Emma Howard Boyd, chair of the UK Environment Agency, praised Shell on Monday for moving to set short-term targets.

“We hope that this unique joint statement between institutional investors and an oil and gas major, will inspire other leaders to take bold action,” she said in a statement. “We would encourage the rest of the sector to follow Shell’s lead.”

Shell announced in 2016 that it would link greenhouse gas emissions to executive compensation.
It isn’t the only Big Oil company to come under pressure from investors over the environment. Last year, US-based ExxonMobil agreed to reveal the risks it faces from climate change and the global crackdown on carbon emissions.

Respond to the following questions:

2. Comment on Royal Dutch Shell’s plan to link executive pay to the achievement of carbon emissions targets.

3. In your reasoned opinion, which is the most preferable option in terms of carbon emissions:

a) the government mandating that energy companies like Royal Dutch Shell comply with heightened carbon emissions targets established by the government;
b) energy companies like Royal Dutch Shell establishing their own heightened carbon emissions targets and methods to ensure reaching such targets; or
c) doing nothing other than complying with existing regulatory standards established by individual countries ?
Explain your responses.

On January 1, 2020, Ayayai Co. borrowed and received $465,000 from a major customer evidenced by a zero-interest-bearing note due in 5 years.

Prepare the journal entry to record the initial transaction on January 1, 2020.
(b)
Prepare the journal entry to record any adjusting entries needed at December 31, 2020. Assume that the sales of Ayayai’s product to this customer occur evenly over the 5-year period.
