The amount of xylene that can be used in household paint is legally limited to 0

Question

The amount of xylene that can be used in household paint is legally limited to 0.03 percent. Anything beyond this amount is hazardous to health and the environment, and considered a legal offense. Consequently, A Paints Corp. makes sure the amount of xylene in their products does not exceed 0.03 percent. B Paints Corp., on the other hand, has vouched to make its products as safe as possible. Therefore, it manufactures xylene-free paints even though this increases its costs and reduces the dividends paid to its shareholders in the long run. By contrast, C Paints Corp. adds a chemical to its products that makes the amount of xylene appear less than it really is. This enables the company to reduce its costs by using more xylene in its products than the legal limit and to get away with it. Based on this scenario, A Paints Corp. is most likely to have ______ managers.

A. moral

B. immoral

C. amoral

D. all of the above
