You are the general manager of a regional chemical company. In the course of producing your bulk chemicals, large amounts of par

ticles and smoke are emitted through your plant’s smokestack. The level of pollutants is below current EPA regulations, and you are violating no laws, but neighborhood groups are complaining about minor health problems caused by the smoke. After investigating numerous alternatives, you find the most effective solution would be to install a "scrubber" system, which will remove 90% of the pollutants and ash. Cost: $3 million. Do you install the system?

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Even though the scrubber system is expensive, it is worth it as it is improving human health in the society. This will count towards the sustainable development of the society as well as the social responsibility of the company.

And if the company is worried about profits, installing this system will show that they care about the society and its people which will probable increase their customer base when they include this deed in their marketing campaigns. People generally love a "compassionate" company so this is a strong likelihood.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

A. A bond which has a price of $850, a Yield to Maturity of 4%, and a Current Yield of 3.75%

Explanation:

Since George is focussed on achieving a high total return for his portfolio, he will consider adding a bond whose yield to maturity (YTM) is the highest. Among these options, option A would be ideal since it has a 4% YTM; he would probably not consider if the price of $850 is high or not . This is the annual interest rate paid on the bond investment.
