Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: Appleton has a strict classical view of social responsibility. He is looking at costs and profits only and is not concerned with long-term effects or problems. Appleton's view is not in accord with the socioeconomic view of social responsibilitycalli ng for businesses to go beyond profits and consider society's welfare. Appleton is not being socially responsive because the public is not calling for a high-pollution plant to be built. Finally, a broad view of social responsibility is a vague term that cannot describe the director's views, so it is not a correct response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: Sustainability is about doing business in a way that preserves the environment for future generations. Responsible businesses see no advantage in making a quick profit now that results in harming the environment for the future. In a sustainable business, operations are carried out that do not harm the environment.
