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.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Plant1      P1C1                      P1C2                     P1C3

What's the difference between a checking account and a savings account?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

D. A checking account comes with a credit card.

Explanation:

A checking account is opened to facilitate regular bank transactions such as deposits, withdraws, cash transfers, payments, among others. There are no limits to the number of transactions that one can perform per period. Bank's fee and charges are applicable per transaction. To facilitate payments, withdrawals, and deposits, banks provide debit cards to customers.

Savings accounts are designed to help customers accumulate funds for future use. Banks limit withdrawals and offer interest payments to encourage customers to save. Savings accounts have fewer charges and don't come with debit cards.
