Answer 1

Answer:

violates the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, etc.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a federal law of the United States of America that explicitly prohibits its citizens and business firms from engaging in bribery of foreign of foreign government officials in order to gain favors or profit their business. This Act was enacted by the 95th US Congress and signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on the 19th of December, 1977.

In this scenario, a United States firm recently won a large contract to provide Malayalam government officials with American cars and a promise of additional monetary gifts. Hence, this procedure clearly violates the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.
