Answer Choices
Sign in to reveal the correct answerA
Nova's products are sold globally, so revenue from any single region is minimal compared to overall sales.
B
Allocating funds to charitable causes would mean Nova has to cut back on advertising, which is the most effective way to reach potential customers.
C
If economic conditions shift, Nova might need to shut down or move the new plant.
D
Many charitable organizations are inefficient, so donations may not effectively help the community.
E
If employees at the new plant feel their pay or working conditions are inadequate, their dissatisfaction could overshadow any positive impact from Nova's charitable contributions.
