Rupert and Cordelia own an American company that does business in foreign nations. Getting a license in a new country can be challenging. As they try to enter into business in a new country, Rupert fills out the license paperwork and takes it to the correct office. There he pays the front-desk person $100 to process the paperwork, as is the custom in that country. Cordelia, who has connections in that country, schedules an appointment with the minister of commerce, who has the authority to determine which foreign companies get licenses, and pays him $200 to approve their license. Which payment(s) likely violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?a. The payments made by both Rupert and Cordelia. b. The payment made by Rupert but not the payment made by Cordelia. c. The payment made by Cordelia but not the payment made by Rupert. d. Neither payment violated the FCPA.

Option C.The payment made by Cordelia but not the payment made by Rupert.

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that Rupert did the right thing and as well follow the due process and custom of the country because he fills out the license paperwork and as well takes the license paperwork to the correct office in which he pays the front desk person the amount of $100 to process the paperwork while Cordelia on the other hand violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act reason been that due to the connections she had in that country she went ahead to schedules an appointment with the minister in charge of commerce because the minister has the authority to determine the foreign companies that can get licenses and she as well pays the minister the amount of $200 to approve their license.

Therefore based on the scenario we can vividly say that the payment made by Cordelia but not the payment made by Rupert violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
