Answer:
a. At lower levels, management have fewer controllable costs
Explanation:
The opposite is true, lower-level management have more controllabe costs than higher level management because top management focuses on the general strategy of the firm, while lower management focuses on the specific production processes. 
It is in these specific production processes that many controllable costs arise. A production line supervisor (part of lower-level management) can directly control some variable costs such as energy used, amount of input, or even work hours.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P 
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is 
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
 
        
             
        
        
        
Since the consultant is not a consultee's administrative supervisor , then he would not be held legally responsible for actions taken by the consultee based on the consultant's advice.
A consulting agreement is a legal document that describes the working relationship between a company and a consultant who provides services to that company. The consulting agreement defines the terms of the professional relationship in order to hold both parties accountable for the type of work and compensation expected.
A consultant is a third-party professional who provides expertise and advice to help a company's operations in some way. They examine current business practices, identify areas for improvement, and devise a strategy to improve that aspect of the business.

Answer:
True
Explanation:
Richard De George is known for his work in business ethics. He discussed the conditions to permit whistle-blowing.
According to De George, whistle-blowing is permitted as moral authority when these 3 conditions are met:
1) The harm that will be done by the product [or company action] to the public is severe and considerable.
2) The engineer has told their superiors about their concern
3) The engineer has not received a satisfactory answer from their supervisors and also from other superiors and he is left with no other alternatives.
 According to De George, whistle-blowing is mandatory as moral duty when these 2 additional conditions are met:
4) The engineer must have documented evidence that would convince a reasonable observer that his or her view is correct 
5) There must be strong evidence that making the information public will in fact prevent the threaten serious harm.
