Answer:

a. If each hybrid vehicle will have an average cost of $26,000, what will be the average cost per non-hybrid vehicle?

each hybrid car costs $26,000 x 2,500 = $65,000,000

total cost of non-hybrid cars = $275,000,000 - $65,000,000 = $210,000,000

average cost of non-hybrid car = $210,000,000 / (17,600 - 2,500) = $13,907.28 per non-hybrid car

b. Suppose furthermore, the White House said that by replacing less efficient vehicles, the government will reduce gasoline consumption by 1.9 million gallons per year and prevent 27 million pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. On average, how many gallons of gasoline and how many pounds of carbon dioxide will be "saved" per year per vehicle? Round to the nearest whole gallon and whole pound.

1,900,000 gallons of gasoline saved per year / 17,600 cars = 107.95 ≈ 108 gallons of gasoline saved per car

27,000,000 pounds of carbon dioxide less per year / 17,600 cars = 1,534.09 ≈ 1,534 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per car

If reputable companies such as IBM and Apple have been charged with using bribes to obtain sales, why should you worry about bei
saul85 [17]

Answer:

1. Reputation.

Apple and IBM are big companies which is why their reputation was able to survive the bribery charges. You are most likely not as big as either of these companies so if you are charged with bribery, your reputation might not be able to recover like theirs did.

It is always best to be associated with a good reputation. A good reputation gives you customers who will be loyal because they appreciate the integrity you have. You should not throw this away by bribing people.

2. Consequences.

It is because Apple and IBM are so big that they were able to settle the bribery charge with the Courts. Smaller companies or people that have lesser effects on the financial system might find that their punishments will be more severe to act as a deterrent.
