Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": None of the above.

Explanation:

<em>Even if John has no direct either indirect influence in the business it is not suitable for him to accept the gift from his friend</em>. The position John's friend has in the supplier company is unknown which implies his friend could play a managerial role, therefore, it is better to avoid any type of action that could be a signal of preference towards that company.

Besides, John works in accounting which is an administrative department of the business, thus, John should be extra careful in his actions regardless of the influence he might have in the firm.

Auto Parts, Inc. is medium-sized company that manufactures auto parts in Buffalo, New York. The company currently loses $40,000
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

I agree with the owner of the company

Explanation:

The overall losses are $40,000 per month and the fixed costs are $30,000 per month.

The company should stop production because the losses are over fixed cost and this tells us that the company is not even able to recover the variable costs and because the variable costs are not at least recovered, there would be no point for the company to continue in the business as it would keep on making a loss and the logic might be wrong regarding sunk costs but the decision must be taken in favour where production should be stopped.
