Answer:

a. A wire transfer of $200,000 to the Minister of Contracting of Gambia made by Bordeaux Builders, Inc., a French corporation, and originating from its corporate headquarters in New York in order to secure a construction contract.

  • ILLEGAL: the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits bribing officials of foreign countries in exchange for monetary benefits for a US company.  

b. A birthday card and bottle of California wine sent annually by Woody Pulp, the chief executive officer of Pacific Paper Products, Inc., a U.S. corporation, to his long-standing friend who is the Director of Government Procurement for the Japanese government.

  • NOT ILLEGAL: this is just a gift and its value is not significant and will not result in a financial advantage for the company.

c. A cash payment of $100 made by an agent of Chicago Chemicals Company, a U.S. corporation, to a processing clerk in the Chilean Office of Business Licensing in order to expedite consideration of CCC's application for authority to conduct business operations in Chile.

  • NOT ILLEGAL: this is considered grease money paid and the person that received it is not someone with power.

This can be calculated as follows:

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = Net income in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $212,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.1024, or 10.24%
