Environmental Costs

At the beginning of 2009, Kleaner Company initiated a program to improve its environmental performance. Efforts were made to reduce the production and emission of contaminating gaseous, solid, and liquid residues. By the end of the year, in an executive meeting, the environmental manager indicated that the company had made significant improvement in its environmental performance, reducing the emission of contaminating residues of all types. The president of the company was pleased with the reported success but wanted an assessment of the financial consequences of the environmental improve- ments. To satisfy this request, the following financial data were collected for 2008 and 2009 (all changes in costs are a result of environmental improvements):
