Explanation:
In Business management, outsourcing can be defined as a process which involves an agreement between two companies that allows for the provision of services or job functions by another.
When a company is outsourced, it engages the service of another company (third-party) to perform some of its duties rather than the use of an in-house department or employees to handle them. The outsourcing firm is saddled with the responsibility of physically distributing the goods or services of the outsourced company.
Hence, outsourcing simply means the use of supply chain partners of a large corporation to provide products or services for the end users or consumers.
In the United States of America, outsourcing of jobs and services from large corporations to domestic subcontractors (outsourcing companies) is one of the main reason job have become more insecure recently.
Answer:
This question is about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is basically being socially responsible (with the employees, community, environment, etc.) and at the same time trying to maximize the financial value of a company (which is a duty to shareholders).
It might be easier for some companies, e.g. service providers, while much harder for mining companies (and other extracting companies). But it doesn't meant that all companies should try their best to do it.
Some companies even benefit from being socially responsible and increase their income through higher sales, e.g. Ben and Jerry's actually increased their sales of ice cream by focusing on CSR.
Even small businesses can benefit from CSR since it increases customer awareness and loyalty, and that can lead to higher sales. E.g. the public image of local businesses that help to finance certain community services improves and that eventually leads to higher sales.
Customers tend to favor companies that they consider to be socially responsible, and if they have to decide between purchasing from a socially responsible company or from another that isn't, they will generally purchase form the socially responsible one.

In the March 31 statement of financial position, the company should record the futures contracts as a loss and liability of $100,000
Explanation:
GAAP specifies that all derivatives instrument and hedging activities recorded in the balance sheet are assets and liabilities and measured at fair value.
At the starting of the futures contracts, the fair value is $0 since the prices of the future contract was entered at that date.
Given that 200 futures contracts was sold at the commodity exchange foo $$0.83/lb and each contract was for 25,000 lb. Therefore a fair value hedge of 5 million lb. (25,000 lb. × 200 contracts) of copper at $0.83/lb is expected to be delivered.
The price had risen to $0.85/lb at the date of the financial statements, Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability = (5 million lb) × ($0.83 – $0.85) = 5000000 × 0.02 = 100000
Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability of $100,000
