Answer and explanation:

Externalized costs are costs that the society pays that are generated by producers and the consumers of the product. The common example is the use of petrol. If I own a car and I don't like riding bicyle for smaller distances, this means the Carbon dioxie emission caused due to me have to be born by the society. This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.

UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.

Answer:

Laptops (wrote this myself, not copied)

Explanation:

Laptops are ubiquitous in our everyday life. I couldn't even write this without one. The number of computer units shipped has increased from 135 million in 2000 to 355 million in 2011!  When a laptop becomes useless, it is usually disposed of.  Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 38 percent of computers in 2009 by weight were recycled. A laptop can contain mercury, lead, chromium and other heavy metals that provide power. If these toxic elements ended up in a landfill, they could contaminate groundwater, surface water or the soil around the landfill.

Approximately 164 million people in the US own laptops. The amount of energy (electricity) needed to power these laptops contributes to the millions of tons of greenhouse gases that are transmitted into the environment.

Richard Mattison, CEO of the Trucost, part of S&P Global, stated, "Our analysis indicates that, on average, if nature charged for its services, the “true cost” of a desktop computer would be around 6 percent higher than the retail price, while the laptop would be 14 percent more expensive." In other words, if nature charged for its administrations, the "genuine expense" of a desktop, it would associate with 6 percent higher than the retail cost, while the laptop would be 14 percent more costly.

The amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase at a given price.
inysia [295]

Answer:

Quantity demanded is the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase at a particular price. Many things determine demand, but only price can determine the quantity demanded of a specific good. If you have the money and are willing to buy 2 ice cream cones a week, at $2 per cone, the quantity demanded would be 2 cones a week. Now, what happens if the price increases to $4 a cone? If you are like most people, the quantity of ice cream cones you demand will decrease as the price rises. In this case, assume your quantity demanded is now only 1 cone a week, which is what you are willing and able to buy. Notice that as the price of the cones increases, the quantity of ice cream cones demanded decreases. This means quantity demanded is negatively related to price-which means they have an inverse relationship. Economists refer to this relationship as the law of demand. The law of demand states that, other things being equal, when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded of that good falls. The reverse is also true-when the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded of that good rises. The combination of the quantities people are willing and able to buy of a good or service at various prices constitutes a demand schedule. When the demand schedule is graphed, the demand curve is downward sloping.

Which one of the following is not one of the major drivers of unethical managerial behavior?a. Intense competitive pressures. b.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: e. The pervasiveness of immoral and amoral businesspeople.

Explanation:

Managers are sometimes pressured into engaging in unethical behaviors due to intense competitive pressures that can determine whether they keep their jobs especially in a company culture that puts the profitability and good business performance as the paramount yardstick of success.

Heavy pressures placed on company managers to meet or beat earnings targets can also lead to unethical behavior and on a more person level, so can an overzealous pursuit of personal gain, wealth, and other self-interests.

The pervasiveness of immoral and amoral business-people is not a major driver of unethical managerial behavior.
