Answer 1

Generally, ethics will go hand in hand with laws. In some cases they may be separated. In the case of Apple I believe decision that would be coincide with that of the law. The fact that the stock price is zooming up is not a pertinent fact. Based on the business prospects the fact that the Apple suppliers hired eleven underage employees would have no or limited effect on the stock price.
