In this text, we learn about the behaviour of the government official responsible for signing the contract. The official appears to be demanding money known as a "finder's fee." However, this was not part of the official agreement, and appears unethical to you. The official justifies it by saying that it is common place in his country. These actions would be considered both ilegal (because they go against the law) and unethical (because they do not follow the values that society accepts as fair). Some executives might think that reacting in this way can cause American corporations to suffer a competitive disadvantage. However, I disagree. While in some cases this might mean that American corporations cannot compete with other, more corrupt corporations, following the law is likely to lead to peace and stability, which ultimately benefits corporations.

Answer:
(C) the forces of supply and demand
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive industry, no single buyer nor seller will be able to influence prices thus marking the forces of demand and supply (the invisible hand) the determinant of pricing. Each buyer or seller will only account for a minute portion of total demand and supply thus making their influence of market price insignificant.
Options (A), (B) and (D) are incorrect as the largest firms, individual sellers and individual buyers do not influence pricing over price in a perfectly competitive market.
Answer:$9,000
Explanation:
The tax credit offered to adoptive parents to encourage adoption is reffered to as ADOPTION TAX CREDIT. The adoption tax credit is a nonrefundable tax credit. This means that people owing taxes are also fit or qualified to apply for the adoption tax credit.
In the United States of America, adoption tax credit qualified expenses include court costs, traveling expenses, lawyer's or Attorney's fee and other expenses for legal adoption of an eligible child.
It can be calculated by subtracting
the max's employer provided for the couple with adoption benefits of $4,000 from the incurred expenses of a total of $13,000 in qualified adoption expenses(from the question).
That is; $13,000-$4,000.
= $9,000.
Hence, the maximum amount of adoption credit they can take this year is $9,000.
