Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Profit maximization.

Explanation:

Top executives are in charge of decision-making in companies. The path the firm will take depends on them. Their ultimate goal is always to maximize the profits of a firm. For such a thing to happen several accounting and operations analysis is conducted to make adjustments on production or engage in the manufacturing of new goods.  

An ethical dilemma arises when <em>profit maximization</em> implies affecting others through pollution or the manufacturing of products that could be somehow risky. Managers in most cases would prefer to cut the costs of production but they must find a balance between generating more revenue and fulfilling the minimum quality requirements so that the goods or the production of them does not put others at risk.

Why might a person assume the Mr. White could be doing well financially
defon

\huge\color{purple}{\mathbb{ANSWER:}}

Mr. White was the third and final owner of the talisman in W. W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw." He plucked it from the fireplace when the previous owner, Sergeant Major Morris, tossed it there to burn and end the chain of misfortune that came with it. He is motivated mostly by curiosity, since he seems happy with his life and is financially secure.

Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
