Shamrock Corporation is preparing the comparative financial statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2021. The income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, was $1,818,000 and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, was $2,424,000. In both years, the company incurred a 10% interest expense on $2,424,000 of debt, an obligation that requires interest-only payments for 5 years. The company experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $575,000 on February 2021. The company uses a 20% effective tax rate for income taxes. The capital structure of Shamrock Corporation on June 1, 2019, consisted of 1,037,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 19,100 shares of $50 par value, 6%, cumulative preferred stock. There were no preferred dividends in arrears, and the company had not issued any convertible securities, options, or warrants. On October 1, 2019, Shamrock sold an additional 511,000 shares of the common stock at $20 per share. Shamrock distributed a 20% stock dividend on the common shares outstanding on January 1, 2020. On December 1, 2020, Shamrock was able to sell an additional 785,000 shares of the common stock at $22 per share. These were the only common stock transactions that occurred during the two fiscal years.

Determine the weighted-average number of shares that Shamrock Corporation would use in calculating earnings per share for the fiscal year ended:

Weighted-average number of shares
(1) May 31, 2020
(2) May 31, 2021

Prepare, in good form, a comparative income statement, beginning with income from operations, for Shamrock Corporation for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2021. This statement will be included in Shamrock’s annual report and should display the appropriate earnings per share presentations. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. $1.55.)

Mars Dump is a multinational company that is caught by the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).
Details of ETS are as follows:
It is a cap and trade scheme in which permits are traded in an active market. Its annual compliance period is from 1 July of the current period to 30 June of the following year.
Each participating company receives an allocation of free permits each year based on their reporting carbon emissions from the previous period. In the case of Mars Dump Ltd, permits to emit 36 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents have been issued on the first day of the current period (i.e. 1 July 2019) when the market price of a permit was $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalents.
During the 2019/2020 financial year, Mars Dump emitted 37 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents, which exceeded its permitted emissions of 36 000 tones. This occurred despite the managers of Mars Dump estimating that it had emitted 19 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents by 31 March 2020 and was therefore on target to emit 36 000 tonnes by 30 June 2020. The market price of a permit is $27 on 31 March 2020. As a result of exceeding allowed emission levels, on 30 June 2020, Mars Dump purchased 1 000 permits at a market price of $33 per tonne. Mars Dump uses the cost model in accordance with AASB 138, and amortises any deferred income arising from the permits using the proportion of actual emissions to estimated total emissions.
Required

2. “There is no mandatory reporting of corporate social responsibility in Australia.” What is your understanding of this phrase? Explain.​​​​​
3. Account for above events in the books of Mars Dump Ltd for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 in accordance with the requirements of Interpretation 3 and AASB138.
