PROBLEM NUMBER 1A farmer can plant up to 8 acres of land with wheat and barley. He can earn $5,000 for every acre he plants with wheat and $3,000 for every acre he plants with barley. His use of anecessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 10 gallons for his entire 8 acres. Wheat requires 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and barley requires just 1 gallon per acre.
SOLUTION TO PROBLEM NUMBER 1let x = the number of acres of wheatlet y = the number of acres of barley.
let p = total profit that can be earned.
What are the optimum points (x,y) of this problem?

The scientist collects data on the volume of automobile emissions and the levels of global warming over time. The scientist concludes that a 1% increase in automobile emissions causes a 0.0003% increase in average global temperatures. From this information he concludes that the automobile emissions are harmful to the environment and should be reduced to stop the increase in global temperatures. Refer to Scenario 1.2.

The rapid development in industries is causing more environmental issues like pollution, carbon emission, greenhouse effects, water and air contamination, land and soil contamination, loss of biodiversity etc. So, accountability towards the environment has become one of the most essential areas of social responsibility. Our traditional accounting system is limited to record and reporting financial information of the business process for internal and external stakeholders. This limitation can be removed by implementing Environmental Accounting and Reporting over the traditional accounting system but requires good knowledge, training and standard guideline. Based on the explanation above, please give your arguments supported by some theoretical framework related to EAR from different scholars/researchers. How it’s an implementation in Indonesia?
