Managers often use a(n) utilitarian approach when making organizational decisions - using financial performance such as profit as the best definition of what constitutes an ethical choice for the company.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When decisions are taken by taking benefits and the costs that are associated with stakeholders into consideration is an utilitarian approach. The main thing that is considered in this approach for taking any decision is consideration of the outcome and net result of the action that is to be taken.
It aims in taking an action that has greater good for many number of people and less harm for lesser number of people. It considers both the people who gets benefits and those people who suffer from the decision. It mainly focus on choosing an alternate that is more ethical and produces a good balancing of benefits than harm.

- R's NPV = $259,221.01
Answer: quantity demanded for the good will increase (D)
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is an imperfect competition where there are many producers that sell products that are differentiated from each another e.g through quality or branding.
In a monopolistic competitive market, firms maximizes profits when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. The demand curve of a monopolistic competitive market is downward sloping which means that as price reduces, the quantity demanded for the good will increase.
Answer:
C. the starvation of up to 35 million people.
Explanation:
Collectivization was first introduced in the USSR by Joseph Stalin between 1929-1933 and his purpose for starting this process was to limit the powers of the Kulaks, who were the rich peasants. The program was also aimed at improving agriculture. China adopted this same policy under the rule of Mao Zedong between 1949-1976. Also known as <em>The Great Leap Forward </em>era, this process sought to make China a socialist economy and also increase productivity in agriculture.
The resultant effect of this process was mass starvation of about 35 million people in 1959. Although the government referred to floods and droughts as the cause of this starvation, it was actually the result of collectivization. When Diang Xiaping came into power in 1978, he instituted reforms in the collectivization process that proved successful.
