Questions 30 through 32 are based on the following: Moe, the chief executive officer and sole shareholder of the Nacho Corporation, was interested in being more socially responsible now that the corporation was established and making substantial profits. In April 2015, an earthquake caused tremendous loss of life and property damage in Nepal. Several of the corporation’s employees had relatives who were personally impacted by the typhoon and they spent many hours in Moe’s office asking if there was anything the corporation could do to help. One of the corporation’s long-time customers had a daughter on the Cal State Fullerton softball team and the customer requested a donation for the team from Moe. Also, Moe had noticed while driving to work every morning that the playground at a local elementary school was in poor condition. Finally, Moe heard from a friend that one of his main competitors, Chipp Corporation, was hiring students from Cal State Fullerton as interns; this gave the students work experience and also helped Cal State Fullerton advertise itself as a college that provided its students with exposure to “the real world.” In response to all of this, Moe did the following:

  • He decided that the corporation would donate $10,000.00 to the American Red Cross to be used to help those impacted by the Nepal earthquake.
  • He decided to attend a game before deciding whether or not to donate $1,000.00 to the Cal State Fullerton softball team.
  • He decided that the corporation would purchase all materials and pay for all labor needed to upgrade the playground at the local elementary school.
  • He decided that the corporation would not hire any Cal State Fullerton students as interns because “the law requires us to obey lots of discrimination and other employment statutes and hiring these students has nothing to do with obeying those statutes.” (Question 30 is on this page; questions 31 and 32 are on the next page.)
